Hi everyone,

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.2 on a 27" unibody iMac 10,1 from 2009. However, even
with the most recent HWE stack (kernel 4.8), the display stays black after
suspend. I can ssh into the machine, so wakeup is OK, but the display is
entirely black (backlight stays off).

Note: this appears to be entirely unrelated to the TDM stuff I posted about
earlier. Interestingly, when I enable TDM, even after suspend, the display works
while TDM is active. Once I disable TDM, it's back to black (unintentional song
reference there).

I've noted that in /sys/class/backlight, there are two different control
interfaces, apple_backlight and radeon_bl0. Before suspend, I can control the
screen brightness from system settings, even if only one of them is loaded, so
both brightness interfaces work.

What I've already tried without success:

- Blindly switching to the console and back.
- Calling DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr --output eDP1 --auto via ssh.
- Restarting X via ssh.
- Blacklist apple_bl on the kernel cmdline (modprobe.blacklist=apple_bl).
- Disabling the radeon backlight on the kernel cmdline (radeon.backlight=0).
- Using radeontool to turn the backlight back on after suspend.
- Directly using the interface in /sys/class/backlight/ to turn it back on.

I'm starting to run out of ideas... any hints?

Regards, Florian
