Hi,

I tried to find the right quirks for my Thinkpad A31 to suspend correctly with 
the latest Fedora7 LiveCD.  With no quirks it suspends, and sometimes on 
wake-up the screen is fine, and sometimes it is garbled.  I'm not sure what if 
any rule there is.  I tried various options, and I'm not sure if they make a 
difference, I have to play more - since sometimes it works anyway.  Every 
single time, and with all tried options, the text display right after resume 
and before it returns to Xwindows has a few weird characters in random places 
and colors, but mostly the couple of lines of text on resume are fine.  The 
graphics in Xwin (when it does come back non-garbled) is fine.

However, the backlight never turns off during suspend, either without flags, or 
when using --quirk-radeon-off, or --quirk-dpms-re. , or both of those flags.  I 
also tried adding s3-mode, s3-bios, vga-mode3, etc.  though I didn't try all 
possible combinations.

On the other hand, "radeontool light off" does turn off the backlight.

Is this supposed to be so?  (i.e. should pm-suspend be able to turn off the ATI 
Radeon Mobility 7500's backlight, or am I supposed to make a script with 
radeontool called before and after suspend?)

Thanks,

Milos
