I was explicitly told to try out 3.18-rc6.  Prior to that I was told to 
try 3.18-rc5, and before that to try 3.16 which I did by migrating to 
14.10, which I did not want to do because it is not an LTS release.  I 
was NEVER told to try out 3.18 in any other version.  As far as I am 
concerned the kernel team are desperately trying to find any excuse to 
not actually look at the problem.  I have explained that I do not 
understand the instructions on exactly what to do to test out a kernel, 
and all you seem to have the time for is to criticize my stupidity, 
rather than explain exactly what it is that I have to do.  My laptop has 
been marginally useful for over TWO years because resume doesn't turn on 
the backlight!  Kernel 3.16 in Ubuntu 14.10 seems to have addressed 
every other suspend/resume issue I had, but the backlight is STILL not 
being turned on, and that means suspend/resume is unusable on my laptop. 
I am sick and tired of reporting this problem again every time I change 
releases, with no results.  I appreciate that you are all volunteers but 
how hard can it be to turn on the backlight?  I have begged the X-org 
team for a command to turn on the backlight, and the only response I get 
is "The driver should turn on the backlight."  Well it doesn't.

Please tell me PRECISELY what I have to do.  The lack of precision in 
your instructions so far have wasted your time and mine.
