[Bug 540134] [NEW] Screen backlight doesn't come on again after opening the lid

[Kai Jauch]

Public bug reported:

The backlight of the laptop display doesn't come back on after closing
and opening the lid on a Dell Latitude E6400.

This was originally reported as bug #488328 and fixed in kernel
2.6.32-15 (using http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-
gfx/2010-February/005902.html), but reappeared in 2.6.32-16 (which has
the 2.6.33 drm stack in it, which apparently doesn't contain this
patch).
