Correction for comment 188: With the Extensa from bug 518002 the problem is just that after lid close or xset dpms force off the backlight does not come on again with any keypress like it should. Instead I have to use the hotkeys to up the brightness from zero to what I want. Which is kind of annoying since it is every time after a lid close. Still, way less severe than I mistakenly thought.
