The backlight is "stuck off" making the system appear to be hung. This a regression in Ubuntu 11.10. ----- (original problem description) ----- [The original problem description is below, however it has been determined that the problem occurs with the the stock 11.10 release kernel and does not actually relate to acpi_backlight=vendor.] I have been using Kamal Mostafa's kernels for my Dell Studio 15 for a few releases. Now, in oneiric, the brightness can not be changed unless I add acpi_backlight=vendor to the kernel command line. The brightness adjustment works fine when I make this change. However, when I add this command line option, it introduces another issue where when the display goes to sleep, it does not resume. Somtimes I get the screen back by switching to a console tty and then back to the X tty. But, the only reliable way I can get a screen to come back on is to close the laptop lid (so the system suspends) and then open it. The display will turn on for resume.
