dmesg

User-Agent:       Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; de) Presto/2.9.168
Version/11.50

After a fresh restart the adjustment of the lcd brightness works
correctly. After putting the system to suspend this won't work. Also
after a second time putting to suspend it won't work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Restart if you've done a suspend recently.
2. Try Adjusting brightness (on my Notebook using Fn+F6/F7), this should work.
3. Put the system to suspend mode.
4. Wake up the system from suspend and try the steps named in 2 again
Actual Results:  
In both cases (before and after suspend) the KDE brightness widget is shown 
correctly but brightness won't change after suspend.

Expected Results:  
Adjusting brightness should work like after a fresh restart.

System:
Toshiba Tecra R850-11M
openSuse 11.4 / 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop / KDE 4.7

The actual state is also after a suspend shown correctly in the
following file:

cat /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd
brightness:              5
brightness_levels:       8

When adjusting the brightness using the keys the value in the file above
is actualized corrctly.

In /var/log/messages and dmesg (also as attachment) the following line appears:
Aug  9 20:38:02 linux-h81p kernel: [  899.913018] ACPI: Failed to switch the 
brightness

To find the problem I attached the file /var/log/pm-suspend.log. I also
found out, that this machine is not known by s2ram, although suspend
works except the screen brightness.

# /usr/sbin/s2ram -n
  Machine unknown
  This machine can be identified by:
      sys_vendor   = "TOSHIBA"
      sys_product  = "TECRA R850"
      sys_version  = "PT525E-00D00SS4"
      bios_version = "Version 3.00  "
  See http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Suspend_to_RAM for details.

By the way to things:
1) Because I have 8GB RAM and an SSD Harddrive I have no SWAP Partition, but by 
my side this shouldn't be a problem.
  
2) As described here (http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver) I tried to 
edit /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd manually using the following command:
  # sudo echo "brightness:4" > /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd
But also with sudo rights I can not write to the file, the error message says 
"bash: /proc/acpi/toshiba/lcd: Keine Berechtigung" even tough I should have 
rights for sudo
  # -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 14. Sep 11:19 lcd

I loked in /sys/ for all files containing the value "bright". Then I
changed the brightness of the screen using the Keys Fnn+F6/F7 and
watched for the changes in the files. The tabular is in the attached
file:"Files in /sys/containig bright and their values"

I mentioned that the value of
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-LVDS-1/intel_backlight/actual_brightness
is always constant after a suspend. Before the suspend it changed.

To change the brightness after suspend I did the following:

#su
#echo 320 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

Now the file
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-LVDS-1/intel_backlight/actual_brightness

contains the same value as given in the above comand and display
brightness is really changed.

I tested this with 3.1.0-1.2-desktop and 3.2.0.6449 Vanilla. On both
this workaround works fine to change brightness, but the keys Fn+F6/F7
are stil not working.
