Hi Aaron,

after your commit 0e9f81d3b7c ("ACPI / video: Add systems that should
favour native backlight interface") I have had an regression that every
time after resume the display brightness has been set to zero and I need
to manually set it to non-zero to see something again.

Finally I started to investigate this more closely and it seems that X
sets it to zero for some reason. I added a WARN_ON() and few printks to
brightness_store() in drivers/video/backlight/backlight.c and this is
what I see during resume:

And this is PID 1133:

/usr/bin/X :0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7
-novtswitch -background none

If I set video.use_native_backlight=0 in kernel command line the problem
goes away. Or if I revert your commit 0e9f81d3b7c the problem also goes
away. Any ideas?

My setup is:

Thinkpad X230
Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit
i3 window manager
xserver-xorg 1:7.6+12ubuntu2
