oh wait is it happening just before sleeping or screensaver?

Do you mean after a few minutes of non use the screen dims? Only to return with a touch of the mouse or a button?

its a bug. Apple has already acknowledged this. I believe that their workarounds do not work.

Yes. That's it exactly.

A bug?!

Maybe "bug" wasnt the right word. It only affects Intel based laptops. Its been a "problem" or "issue" for a few months now..

I've noticed this bug too - I can't believe they haven't fixed it yet! Especially since they've known about it for so long. It's really annoying, especially when watching YouTube videos!
