@brad-figg: I did the tests you asked me.
I now ran dist-upgrade and booted with the Acer laptop that suffers from this
issue. It turned out the old workaround in comment #4 stopped working in the
new kernel 3.2.0-18, that is in /etc/default/grub line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash
@sma,
One bug per bug report. Please file a new bug on the hibernate issue.

An additional problem is, when the computer wakes up after
hibernate/standby, the screen will stay black.
I found three workarounds, that promise to solve this problem:

@otto,
Can you take a look at the suggestion in #8 and see if that workaround
does indeed help?

@bradd,
The laptop in question is not my own, so I'm not sure when I'll be able
to visit it and test the other workarounds (#5 and #8). The workaround
in #4 has been working, so from this particular users point of view the
situation is not critical. But eventually I'll test the other
workarounds
I guess this bug is the same issue as discussed in this bugreport:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/826386 (No
backlight display Acer Aspire 5734Z).
Maybe the workaround described in #33
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/826386/comments/33)
still works. See
Likely to be either kernel or perhaps gnome-power-manager.

I noticed that running manually
xrandr --output LVDS1 --set BACKLIGHT 0
makes the screen brightness maximum.
If I boot without acpi=off and run the xrandr-command, nothing happends.
None of the Fn-key work either as acpi is on, so I guess the ACPI is
broken.
To make the screen as dim as
I added now an external monitor to the laptop so that I could investigate what
state its is in when booted withouth acpi=off. It
turns out that with ACPI enabled, the xrandr brightness range is 0-9:
$ xrandr --prop
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1
I now also got the Fn+Arrow-buttons working by adding the kernel option
acpi_backlight=vendor if found while googling around.
Make change permament by editing row in /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor
and then run sudo update-grub

I have acer aspire 5734z with gma 4500 running archlinux. best solution
for me is adding GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=acpi_osi=Linux to
/etc/default/grub then update grub. still starts dark but brightness
keys work. it is kernel issue not the operating system. See here
