reassign 487403 uswsusp
retitle 487403 no backlight after "s2ram -f" on thinkpad x40
thanks

It turns out this bug is actually in s2ram, and pm-utils
was calling s2ram because it saw it in /usr/sbin. (More on
that in another bug).

s2ram folks: my hardware requires the two s3 quirks to
operate correctly. It is in the s2ram whitelist, so "s2ram"
works fine.

pm-utils calls s2ram. It uses quirks from hal. Hal has the
correct quirks, and with kernels up to 2.6.26, it calls
"s2ram -f -a 3". So, s2ram does not consult it's whitelist
(due to -f) but uses the correct acpi mode (due to -a 3).

With 2.6.26, quirk-handling has been folded into the
kernel. pm-utils checks the kernel version and if it is
2.6.26 or greater, it disables all the quirk handling
stuff. Therefore, s2ram gets invoked as just "s2ram -f".

On 2.6.26, "s2ram -f" results in my backlight not being on
after resume. A simple "echo mem > /sys/power/state" works
fine, however, so this is due to something s2ram is doing
in addition to asking the kernel to suspend.
