Package: pm-utils
Version: 1.2.5-2

On this Inspiron 4000 laptop, when I tried to suspend with pm-suspend,
the screen would turn a uniform dull grey.  The Inspiron 4000 uses a
ATI Rage 128-based card (ATI Rage Mobility M3 AGP 2x [1002:4c46] rev
02), which is pretty similar to a Radeon, so I tried
--quirk-radeon-off.  That does make the backlight turn off, addressing
my problem.

Still, better if this works out of the box, I would think.  Although
the Inspiron 4000 is “whitelisted” (matched by vendor “Dell”), I think
no one has checked what works for it yet.

I started to try testing the various quirks, but I am not sure what to
test for.  The laptop has TV-out and standard monitor ports but so far
I have only tried the built-in LCD.

s2ram -n :

        Machine unknown
        This machine can be identified by:
            sys_vendor   = "Dell Computer Corporation"
            sys_product  = "Inspiron 4000"
            sys_version  = ""
            bios_version = "A23"

The screen is a Samsung LT141X8-L02, TFT LCD panel. The kernel ACPI
driver is loaded, no APM.  “vbetool dpms suspend”, “vbetool dpms off”,
and “radeontool light off” all work to turn off the backlight.
