Does your laptop support apm in the BIOS at all?

Out of curiosity I've added code to turn off the LCD panel to my latest
driver version.  I don't know if it will do anything for your
backlight.  It also might not restore the screen after a suspend.  If
you'd like to give it a shot let me know what happens.

When trying a test where you may loose the screen, either 'sync' your
disks just before going into suspend, or have a remote connection
available so you can perform a clean shutdown.
