Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu Screen fading out and in. Post 303003299 by hicksd8 on Tuesday 12th of September 2017 03:34:37 AM

@Corona688.......I reckon your post#8 is exactly on track. This Ubuntu installation thinks it's on a laptop. The OP says that the screen doesn't go completely black. The OS is trying to change the backlight. Yes, that's a ACPI fix. We also know well that Ubuntu open source display drivers have particular problems with Intel graphics.

Search the web for 'Ubuntu', 'backlight', 'Intel graphics', etc.

This looks weird until you consider a laptop installation then it suddenly becomes very common.
