Package: pm-utils
Version: 1.2.4-2
Severity: important

Hello,

I'm a longtime pm-utils user on my Thinkpad X40.  This laptop reached S3 and S4 
nirvana a couple of years ago with the minimum of fuss.

I'm using squeeze and a nice shiny new pm-utils package turned up this week.  I 
installed it and didn't think much of it.  A consequence of this new version is 
however that my backlight no longer comes back on when I resume from S3 
(haven't 
tested S4 yet).  It was working reliably prior to this.

I do not have uswsusp installed (as I've never needed it) and have been 
contently using
the in-kernel suspend mechanism.

The only thing this laptop previously needed to work was to pass 
acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode
hints to the kernel in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.  They are still in there.

What should I do to get my backlight working again?  This is a production 
machine
that is very compromised by this bug.  If I hold the screen under intense light
I can make out images on the screen and it is perfectly possible to kill X
with an CTRL ALT BACKSPACE however this doesn't bring the backlight back
on.
