Hi all,
I have a problem that seems to be related to haldaemon:
whenever I change the screen brightness of my laptop (Dell Inspiron
E1505), everything freezes for a second and then continues as normal.
There's no spike in the cpu monitor, and the clock applet seems to
display the right time (no time skips) -- but during the freeze it's all
frozen: keyboard, mouse, clock applet, cpu usage applet. If an audio or
video clip was playing at the moment, it would freeze as well (and then
continue as normal after 1 sec)
The problem goes away if I either (a) stop haldaemon service, or (b)
quit kpowersave before playing with brightness. Normal behavior is
restored in either case, then.
What's going on?
