Retitling to be more precise and reopening. Marwan, please open a new bug on bugzilla.kernel, product ACPI, component Power-Video, and let us know the bug number so we can track it. Be sure to include: * full "dmesg" output from booting with and without acpi_backlight=vendor, as an attachment * full "acpidump" output, as an attachment * full "lspci -nnvvv" output, as an attachment If you have a chance to try 3.8.y from experimental, that would be useful, too. We can coordinate further work on this upstream. Thanks, and hope that helps, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Otherwise, the line above would have no effect, because grub would still read the old grub.cfg after reboot. -- Marwan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Note, however, that this workarounds are not reliable across all systems with intel graphics. They might fix the issue on some systems, but are completely useless on others, so I hope this helps in your case. -- Marwan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
