I just upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu 11.10, and whenever I close the lid
the backlight goes off.

That would be a good thing, except that when I open the lid the backlight
does not come on.  This is new with Ubuntu 11.10.

I've found some web pages that relate similar symptoms with Linux and
various other laptops, but the diagnosed root causes seem to be all over
the map, and none of the suggested work-arounds seem to work around the
problem for me, except for setting 'nomodeset' in grub which messes up my
screen aspect ratio.

Anyone have any suggestions?
