Bug Description

The screen grays out for several seconds and sometime get darker. On any program I run. Usually Firefox and OpenOffice 3.2. I also installed Kenel 2.6.35.xxx
I suspect its the driver for nvidia 173.

May not be a Bug but it is bugging me.

Not sure how to install a later nvidia driver.

John
