I've had similar issues on my Toshiba laptop. There are patches to XFree floating around that resolve this, at least on my machine; basically, XFree does not do a full reinit of the display on resume, by default. So, in my case, I have no mouse cursor; in your case, you have no backlight, and so forth. I've been digging for the patches and can't find 'em, but you may have more luck than I. 'Course, now that I've upgraded to -current on the laptop, I can't even suspend the thing in X -- it hangs. Works fine from a console vt, though, which is my temporary solution. -Cliff L.
