Description Michel Lind 2013-03-06 11:53:22 UTC

Description of problem:
My Vaio VPC-Y2 (Intel IGP, details below) has worked fine with kernels up to 3.7.9-201; however, with both 3.8.1-201.fc18 (in updates) and 3.8.2-201.fc18 (latest stable build in Koji), upon resuming from suspend the backlight remains disabled.

The computer itself still responds, at least I could switch to a virtual console and issue CTRL-ALT-DEL to trigger a restart.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.8.1-201.fc18.x86_64
kernel-3.8.2-201.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot laptop
2. From GDM or a logged in session, suspend by closing lid
3. Resume by opening lid and pressing any key
  
Actual results:
Computer resumes, but backlight is disabled

Expected results:
Computer resumes, backlight enabled
