Hi,

I have problems related to my laptop's screen

After It was turned off, usually It takes several minutes to turn it on again.

E.g. this happens after the sleep mode.
Another case is to set brightness to 0% using Fn+F4. After that, Fn+F5 doesn't help. I need to wait several minutes (sometimes after shorter period of time switching to TTY1-6 and back to TTY7 helps) before I will get the image again.

Do not know what info should I provide, I have KDE installed and intel+nvidia graph. cards on my laptop..

Plrease look into
Code:

/sys/class/backlight

and find brightness.
Then test by echoing values to it.
In my case
Code:

/bin/echo 250 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

If it works ok then its just a glitchy kde......
What is the manufacturer of your laptop?
Please check these kernel configs also
Code:

CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_BACKLIGHT=y
# Backlight & LCD device support
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_KTD253=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LM3533=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_PWM=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_DA903X=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_DA9052=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_MAX8925=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_APPLE=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_QCOM_WLED=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_SAHARA=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_WM831X=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_ADP5520=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_ADP8860=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_ADP8870=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_88PM860X=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_PCF50633=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_AAT2870=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LM3630A=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LM3639=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LP855X=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LP8788=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_PANDORA=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_SKY81452=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_AS3711=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_GPIO=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LV5207LP=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_BD6107=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_ARCXCNN=m
CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_RAVE_SP=m
# end of Backlight & LCD device support
CONFIG_HID_PICOLCD_BACKLIGHT=y
CONFIG_LEDS_TRIGGER_BACKLIGHT=m
CONFIG_CROS_KBD_LED_BACKLIGHT=m



CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=m

Also check passing one of these at kernel cmd line in grub
Code:

acpi_backlight=video
acpi_backlight=vendor
acpi_backlight=native

.......whichever works best....
