 Replying to [comment:2 cjb]:
 > This looks like a bug; the backlight shouldn't be switching off at all.
 Did you olpc-update to joyride-2301?  I haven't seen this myself, so I'm
 trying to find a way to reproduce it.


 Yes, I did $ sudo olpc-update joyride-2301[[BR]]
 from previous joyride-2263.

 I saw the backlight go dark a few times this morning while surfing (Power
 options both unchecked in sugar-control-panel).  But now it is not
 happening!  Something has changed.  Not correlated with AC adapter
 connection as far as I can tell.  I notice the bug when it happens, but it
 takes me a while to notice when it is NOT happening, because then it is
 not irritating.

 Variables to test might include lid close/open history, rebooting history,
 power management option selection history. Maybe there is an uninitialized
 variable at some time.
