Description Wade Mealing 2006-09-20 16:01:52 UTC
Description of problem:

After suspending with the gnome applet or pm-suspend application, the system
will return to a "working" mode by pressing the power button, however the system
does not enable/turn on the backlight after the resume

/etc/pm/config has the option for:

HIBERNATE_RESUME_POST_VIDEO=yes
or
HIBERNATE_RESUME_POST_VIDEO=no

Both have the same end result.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.17-1.2647.fc6
pm-utils-0.19-3

How reproducible:

Every time.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Left Click on the gnome panel applet
2. Choose Suspend, watch machine enter suspend mode
3. press power button, watch machine resume with x11 applications running but
with no backlight on.
  
Actual results:

Backlight is not on, but the system is still functional.

Expected results:

Backlight to turn on, and the people rejoice.


Additional info:

Thanks guys, rock on.

This was tested from both X11 and runlevel 3.

Comment 2 Wade Mealing 2006-10-05 05:49:38 UTC
After testing it now, it gets worse.  Before I could see something on the screen
ever so dimly.  Now I can not do that.

Would be nice if this didn't flick back from working, to non working, to even
worse between kernel updates.

Comment 3 Phil Knirsch 2006-10-10 03:49:03 UTC
That sounds clearly like either a X11 driver problem but more likely like a
kernel problem.

Reassigning to kernel.

Read ya, Phil
