Does this also mean the backlight stays off? (Hard to see, but should be
a difference between "just" black and "black with backlight off").

Ok, so "B" is something to work on from, C and F are unusable :-)

With the latest CVS (as of yesterday), you could try the brand new "-p -m"
combination, which is not yet documented, but i do not really believe that
it will help much here :-(

Another thing you could try is just "s2ram -f -r" or "s2ram -f -p -r", maybe
the radeontool code can switch your light back on after resume.

Not really, sorry :-)

Yes, we will work on that (giving s2ram options to s2both) as we will need
it anyway.
