VLC - Notebook Screenbrightness Issue / XServer

Hey there,

I’ve got a problem with my VLC MediaPlayer (v1.0.3-GoldenEye). During video-playback, my screenbrightness is turned to zero after approx- 30 seconds of playback. After turning the screen brightness to high again, the same thing starts over again.

By now, I encountered that changing screen resolutions (e.g. after closing a fullscreen application with a different resolution) also turns my brightness to 0.

Is there anybody having the same problems, or even better is there a solution to this issue??

Thanks for your help, greetings Christian

No I don’t have this.
VLC should be installed like this
