OH! Unfortunate!

Apparently nobody ever sit on this xrandr fix. After changing the screen brightness to the desired level, I use the system. I'm completely active when doing so. Somehow the screen just starts fading to black. I haven't had this issue with the fix in 8.04.1 but it's showing up now.

It seems like once this starts happening, I can't change the screen brightness easily. I hit the screen brightness up in reaction to the downward direction it's taking and it doesn't respond for a while. It takes 5-20 sec for it to react and change the brightness back up. It does seem to somewhat snap back up once it hits the point of listening to me though.

Not sure what else I can do to help here.
