Public bug reported:

Hello,

I just upgraded to Karmic. After I closed my laptop screen (which causes
the backlight to come off) and opened it again, the screen would come up
with no backlight, which lets you see nearly nothing of the screen. The
same happened when resuming from suspend, and sometimes when the screen
was off automatically to save energy.

I switched kernel mode setting off (added "nomodeset" to the "kopt" line
in /boot/grub/menu.lst) and now it works ok.

Thanks,
Noam
