retitle 531374 hal-info: Backlight not turned off for Inspiron 4000 suspend (white screen) reassign 531374 hal-info thanks
Hi hal-info maintainers, On this Inspiron 4000 laptop, suspending turns the screen a uniform dull grey. This is because it uses an ATI Rage 128-based card (PCI id 1002:4c46) that needs the Radeon backlight quirk. Would it be possible to add an entry to /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-dell.fdi accordingly? Everything works great (and much better than with the default try-everything setting) with quirk.radeon_off enabled and no others. Additional information from my previous report: > I started to try testing the various quirks, but I am not sure what to > test for. The laptop has TV-out and standard monitor ports but so far > I have only tried the built-in LCD. > > s2ram -n : > > Machine unknown > This machine can be identified by: > sys_vendor = "Dell Computer Corporation" > sys_product = "Inspiron 4000" > sys_version = "" > bios_version = "A23" > > The screen is a Samsung LT141X8-L02, TFT LCD panel.
