[Pm-utils] Resume Backlight Problems

[Lane Brooks]

In July 2007 I had problems with the backlight on my Panasonic Toughbook 
resuming correctly after I moved from FC6 to FC7.  I upgraded to the 
kernel and pm-utils in the testing repo and submitted the patch with the 
appropriate quirks and suspend/resume were working fine.

I just made the jump from F8 to F11 on this laptop and resume is once 
again not turning the backlight on, even if I suspend with the vbe-post 
option manually.

My initial guess is the problem is related to kernel mode setting.  
Kernel mode setting does not work correctly on my laptop, so I have to 
disable it with the nomodeset kernel option.  Is there some interaction 
pm-suspend and kernel mode setting that could be causing my problem?
