Thanks a lot. But the LCD stays black. So I read about the various options to reinitialize the VGA, which were: 1. kernel boot options: acpi=s3_sleep, acpi=s3_mode, pci=routeirq. I tried each one of them, LCD still stays black. 2. Using the vbetool to save/restore the state of the VGA. Here is the problem: I didn't find an AMD64 version of vbetool (using Debian testing AMD64), so I forced the i386 package and manually met its 32bit dependencies. It does run, and the "vgastate off" option does disable the LCD. But saving and restoring the state, I get the following error: # vbetool vbestate save > /tmp/save Can't get video state buffer size (vm86 failure) Get video state buffer size failed Can't save video state (vm86 failure) Save video state failed So I guess, there is some reason, that this program does not work on 64bit machines. Is there a workaround or any other idea, how I can get my display back alive?
