Chris, I do not know if it is i915 driver or X'drm or what..
Problem exists on 3.1.0, no problem on 3.0.3

Intel 945GJME 8086:27ac, intel 2.15 x driver, libdrm-intel 2.4.26, 
Debian wheezy.


Recently I have noticed that on Asus EeePCs once X screensaver kicks in 
- system is hosed. Screen goes black and I can not wake it - even 
restarting X does not work, only reboot.

Over ssh I have captured some action from drm.debug=0x0e:
<7>[  787.953399] [drm:intel_panel_get_backlight], get backlight PWM = 312

<7>[ 1132.038299] [drm:intel_panel_set_backlight], set backlight PWM = 0


It looks that the problem is the last line - sets back to 0???

I have tried to write 312 back to /sys/class/backlight/intel-backlight/  
bl-power or brightness, and touch uevent - no help.
On 3.0.3 system I see that there is no /sys/../intel-backlight, just eeepc.
And on touching a key it produces
drm:intel_lvds_enable, followed by set backlight PWM=312 (but skips 
resetting it back to 0 right after enable).

So:
is there a way to fix "intel_panel" to call lvds_enable logic?
Is there a way to force usage of eeepc backlight instead (as a workaround)?

Thanks, Woody Suwalski
