Since my last test (which originally was with Fedora 7.92 + Rawhide)
I have now installed the official F8 release, and I just retested
both suspend and hibernate.

It seems as though both modes work with or without any of the
three keys, BUT:

a) when coming out of suspend, the backlight IS on regardless of
   the quirk keys enabled, but I _must_ perform a Ctl-ALT-F1,
   CTL-ALT-F7 sequence to get the screen to be re-drawn.

b) following a hibernate, the screen _is_ re-drawn because (for
   some reason) the screen/screensaver thinks its locked, so the
   unlock/password window is drawn.

c) Regardless of the current test results, my earlier comment about:
       lshal | grep system.hardware
   is still valid, it does NOT return 'Inspiron' in its string.

Note: With F7.92 + Rawhide, I _did_ have to have the three keys
enabled as per my original email, but then again, the screen was
redrawn in both suspend and hibernate, and I did not need the
CTL-Alt screen switching to force a redraw to occur.

Is there anyway to get the forced screen redraw to occur?
