The acpi-video backlight interface on the Acer KAV80 is broken, and worse it causes the entire machine to slow down significantly after a suspend/resume. Blacklist it, and use the acer-wmi backlight interface instead. Note that the KAV80 is somewhat unique in that it is the only Acer model where we fall back to acer-wmi after blacklisting, rather then using the native (e.g. intel) backlight driver. This is done because there is no native backlight interface on this model.
