It's hard to tell much from your ACPI tables, essentially they just seem
to be handing everything off to the embedded controller. We'll have to
experiment a little.

If you look in /sys/class/backlight you'll have a directory for each of
the backlight interfaces available on your system. You should see at
minimum one named acpi_video0, and probably another one named toshiba.
In each directory there will be files named brightness and
max_brightness, among others. The allowed range of brightness values are
0 to max_brightness, and you can change the brightness by writing one of
these values to the brightness file (as root).

Can you tell me what interfaces you see in /sys/class/backlight, and try
writing values to the brightness file to see which of them work after a
fresh boot (i.e. without any suspend/resume)? Then do a suspend resume
and test them again. Let me know which of them work before the suspend
and whether or not any of them work after the suspend. Thanks!
