Yes, perhaps, but there is also the sysctl hw.acpi.reset_video which I have enabled on my older hardware (TP X40 running 8.3-REL and an old Xorg server) for it to work properly. (I however have some faint memory that reset_video might a no-op these days, or?) In this old mail regarding reset_video, there is a thought that it could be good with "more" reinitialisation: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-acpi/2006-July/002959.html I however have one datapoint that I think contradicts John's thought. This is on a X201 with stable/9 and no options VESA. I first just booted up and stayed in text console, suspended and resumed. No backlight, of course, and also no content on the LCD, it is completely black. Then, I started Xorg with KMS. Still no backlight, but you can see that the LCD is driven with the desired content, which is one step forward. Finally, I suspended and resumed, but no difference, the backlight is still off. Xorg/KMS didn't manage to turn the backlight on, so the text console suspend/resume cycle managed to persistently turn the backlight off. One more thing, the kernel logs this at resume directly after the devices are powered on (transition to D0), but I have no idea whether it is relevant: Sep 2 19:57:21 bit kernel: error: [drm:pid1904:intel_lvds_enable] *ERROR* timed out waiting for panel to power off Bengt
