Yeah, we discussed just that on the mailing list a few days ago.

The problem is, that we don't clean the acpi flags on each run. So
once the acpi flags are set (see "sysctl kernel.acpi_video_flags"),
they are used on the subsequent run.

This has been fixed in master but there is no official release yet
with this fix.

Cheers,
Michael
