Laptop?
Your laptop probably has an ambient light sensor, and the screen brightness gets autoadjusted based on its reading; either that, or Fedora is restoring the saved display brightness setting.
Your keyboard must have an ACPI keystroke combination that adjusts screen brightness, and/or ambient light sensor on/off.

Linux doesn't work with ambient light sensors.
What model graphics card and laptop do you have? This same issue affects my ati gpu on my laptop. Its likely a kernel regression.

This is not true. My ambient light sensor works just fine here.

Yes, I have a bunch of laptops with a similar issue. The fix for me was to add "video.use_bios_initial_backlight=0" to the end of the kernel cmdline.

I was at Starbucks where I guess it was too light. When I got back I could read the screen and under the user name it told me to reboot to install updates. Though I didn't use the command, I hope I can remember it for when I need it again; perhaps I'll save it on my Blackberry.

Was this just a one-time occurence then? If so, then my suggestion probably won't help. In my case, it's a permanent problem.

I have this problem.
It is just that I decided to some extent I decided i will ignore. It is irritating to constantly have to adjust on every boot.
I think we need to work on it for sure. The only problem is I personally cant take it up as my hands are tied. i hope someone sees this and works on it.

Try the kernel parameter I suggested earlier: video.use_bios_initial_backlight=0

tried it.
Does not work for me. I had actually given this a shot earlier. Thank you though :-)

nor me. But I can just adjust the brightness on each boot with a 2 finger keypress. Seemed to appear when the kernel went to 3.10.x

Even more odd is that when i send output to my external monitor and put a video on full screen the funs scream like the processor is doing so much work. Odd thing is it is not a HD clip. I have probably thrown worse a this machine but fun does not come up that heavily. Anyway such is such.

FWIW looks like the kernel 3.11.1 update fixed this for me (ASUS N56VZ).

When going to update via fed up, it's asking me to specify an --instrepo: what does it want? Which one / how do I specify one?

I still have a blackened screen, but have an external monitor plugged in.

I don't know if it's just a one-time thing; it was the first time I experienced it, and I was at a new place as far as being out with the computer...
