PROBLEM: LCD display dead after ACPI suspend to RAM (S3)

[Georg C. F. Greve]

Hi all,

on an ASUS M2400N [*] with both plain vanilla Linux Kernel 2.6.1 and
2.6.1 + acpi-20031203, the machine appears to suspend to RAM without a
problem and it also apparently comes back, but the screen is dead.

Here is the dmesg output for the suspend to RAM / resume cycle:

When trying to get/set the LCD status via /proc/acpi/asus/lcd, dmesg
shows

 Asus ACPI: Error reading LCD status
 Asus ACPI: Error switching LCD

Suggestions, anyone? If you need more info, let me know.
