Yeah, trying it out myself it seems like a DRI thing. Try
turning off DRI in your XF86Config and see if it helps. You might have
to reboot ... DRI doesn't work when coming back from suspend, and some
things don't work once you run DRI. For me, once I run DRI the
backlight refuses to turn off on lid close -- reboot fixes this.

If that doesn't work, try switching to a text console.

I have yet to apply Charl's patch, and so I alternate between DRI and
no-DRI XF86Configs. I don't know if the patch fixes the backlight thing
...
