I usually have my monitor's brightness very low, at around 2%. (I use xbacklight to set it, not sure if that is relevant.) I also use DPMS to save power. When DPMS has powered down the monitor (there is no difference between "standby", "suspend", and "off" on LCD monitors, I have read) and I wake it up, the monitor will resume at full brightness for a split second before returning to the original brightness level. This is quite noticable and irritating, especially when in a dark environment.
Is this something I can fix? Is the issue with DPMS, the hardware, or something else (xrandr?)?
The article on DPMS doesn't mention anything like this, and google has not yielded anything relevant.
I have tried using XScreenSaver, but the problem remains as long as DPMS is enabled. (With it disabled, XScreenSaver fades the screen to black but does not power-down the monitor, I believe, so less power is saved.)
I am running i3, if that's relevant. Computer is Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 14.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
