I'm hijacking this thread a bit for a question.

Currently we have a "feature" with the lvds code that powers my laptop
display, which turns off the screen backlight at modeset, resulting in
a near black screen. What should the default behavior be?

Some suggestions:
1) leave it up to the apps (harder to write small simple apps)
2) restore previous power level (what if the screen doesn't have a
previous state, or it was off)
3) always go full power (leave it up to the apps to power save)

Cheers Jakob.
