Hi,
this was first sent to debian as bug 599768, but Ben Hutchings
recommended sending it to you guys too.
anyway, the drill: backlight on my R800 laptop works fine until I
suspend it, then, /sys/class/backlight/* doesn't change anything
anymore.
This patch is taken from the old toshset tool (that. btw. seems to
document a few HCI commands we're not using in the toshiba_acpi code,
maybe interesting to have a look), and the important part is the code
that sets HCI_LCD_BRIGHTNESS in set_lcd.
after this patch, backlight works through
/sys/class/backlight/toshiba/brightness but for some reason the keys
(that are still detected) don't trigger any backlight change (or call of
set_lcd), ... and I really don't know how to debug that. (they still get
to me in the .notify callback, but I fail to find documentation on the
link between that and get_lcd...
(do I need to call backlight_device_register() or something along the
lines of the sparse_keymap code on resume ?)
anyway, I understand this patch is nowhere near ready for inclusion, but
I send it in order to see if it gives someone a clue to fix this
longstanding issue with toshiba backlights.
thanks,

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] toshiba_acpi: implement and use HCI_BACKLIGHT,
this is mostly taken from the old toshset code, it seems to partially
fix the bug where toshiba backlight is broken after suspend. (getting:
ACPI: can't set backlight, in dmesg.)
this makes /sys/class/backlight/toshiba/brightness work but for some
reason after suspend the events are still recieved (they get printed
out on the .notify handler), but they don't trigger backlight
code. (result beeing that the backlight keys DO NOT work but, setting
/sys/class/backlight/toshiba/brightness DOES).
this is hackish and needs clean up, but does solve part of the issue.
