Comment(by thomaswamm):
Okay, you asked for it. I have basically done the following in Terminal:
{{{
$ sudo /etc/init.d/ohmd stop
$ sudo nohup ohmd --no-daemon --verbose &
$ xset dpms 120 180 240
}}}
Then I dimmed my backlight and waited about two minutes until the
screensaver blanked the screen. Then I hit a key and it came back. Then
I fiddled with brightness to ensure it is at maximum (this fiddling step
is important and shows a brightness glitch). Now I wait a minute to see if
the bug is alive... yes it is. Now I let it happen a few times to feed
the log file...
there it is again... screen is dim... press brighten... wait again... etc
etc.
Enough. I think there are 3 dimmings/brightenings in the log. Time to
upload all this before the next crash.
