Workround provided from upstream dialogue - Thank you Aaron. See http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpim=140686098023199w=2 In summary: Switching to use the intel-backlight interface rather than the acpi_video0 interface makes the controls for brightness work after suspend. This can be done by

John D Marsden, I would start with linux-acpi. linux-pm is more for a bug in the software of suspend itself, not buggy drivers that cause suspend to not work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.
