I have a Linux Certified laptop (LC2210D) and finally decided I'd rather have both my systems on debian sarge instead of a sarge and an ubuntu. So I'm working through getting all the hardware that was working fine under ubuntu setup under debian.
My current problem is the backlight. Running `xset dpms force off` works just fine and the system wakes up with no problem. The problem is with a lid event the backlight goes off (though the screen doesn't blank) and I haven't been able to get it to come back on with out rebooting. This happens whether the acpi script is empty or contains the `xset dpms force off` command. I haven't been able to find anything in /usr/share/doc and googling for the terms "backlight linux" didn't seem to produce anything relevant. Can anyone give me a hint on where to look for the information I need? Thanks in advance. --Dave
