I started reading drivers/platform/x86/toshiba_acpi.c to see if any
obvious problems jump out at me.  (None so far.)  However, one strange
thing that I noticed is that, while I can adjust my screen brightness by
echoing values to
/sys/devices/platform/toshiba_acpi/backlight/toshiba/brightness (when I
can adjust the brightness at all), rmmoding toshiba_acpi doesn't have
any effect on the operation of the brightness buttons, or on the other
brightness files in /sys
(/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-LVDS-1/intel_backlight/brightness,
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness,
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:01:00.0/leds/mmc0::/brightness,
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.2/0000:04:00.0/leds/phy0-led/brightness)

Since I can't control the brightness through any of the
/sys/*/brightness files after a suspend/resume, I've decided to focus on
the kernel side of things and most-ignore the GUI -- the problem must be
with this system.  But, since the toshiba_acpi module seems to be
simultaneously involved and not involved, in setting the brightness,
it's clear that I really don't understand how all of the ACPI and other
firmware/chipset modules that can control the brightness interact.  Can
anyone point me to documentation about how this is supposed to work?

Thanks,
-Luke
