Here comes another "me too" message.

I'm experiencing the same bug. Dell Studio 1558 (AMD Radeon HD standalone graphics adapter) with (K/X/L)ubuntu 12.04. I'm currently using proprietary drivers.

This bug had occurred on this machine before (I think in 11.04 or 11.10), but I figured it was a one-time bug. Now it's happening again for no discernible reason. Like others, it's happening when opening the laptop's lid (in my case to resume, though it sounds like it's not limited to resuming). Mouse is still at full brightness. I haven't tried logging off yet (my screen's still dimmed right now); I'm putting that off so I can save all my work.

I don't think the card specifically is the issue (since it's affecting AMD and Nvidia chipsets alike), but I'm going to test things like compositing and what not to see if I can force some kind of workaround.
