Hi I've also noticed backlight flickering (so pronounced that I was afraid it might kill the backlight) on my Thinkpad X60s, when I hibernate when using a VGA connected display. Laptop LCD is off when in X, but when s2disk suspends X and goes to text mode, VGA out is turned off, and I just see the flickering backlight while the progress of s2disk is displayed on the Thinkpad LCD).
This is with the 2.3.2-2+lenny5 package from Debian, and it might be fixed in the latest git.
