Hi,

is there any FAQ about ACPI problems?

I have an MSI S260 (Intel chipset) with
kernel 2.6.11.7.

An echo mem > /sys/power/state works well, the machine goes into suspend state and wakes up properly except for one thing: The LCD remains black, backlight is not turned on.

How can I turn the display on?

regards
Hadmut

Oh, lucky you! Mine is a sleepyhead and doesn't want to wake up at all :-(

Try dpms on. You can find the tool here:
