Re: [BUG] ACPI/dynamic-hybrid-graphics (?) on Vaio VPCZ11 - screen does not light up on resume [was: Re: Intel Arrandale IGP - screen does not light up on resume]

[Eric Lacombe <goretux@gmail.com>]

I find a way to light up the screen of my laptop after resume (but the solution 
is not really satisfactory) :
When the resume step seems complete, I plug an auxiliary monitor through the 
VGA connector, and the laptop screen light up immediately.

Any idea on the source of this problem ? and how to resolve it ?

Thanks in advance for your response.
