-rc8 does not fix the problem for this Dell XPS M1330 (GM965/GL960) too.

Reverting this commit does not change anything on the laptop.
Still blank (well, no backlight) after DPMS suspend. I use this
line to test:

  $ xset dpms force standby; sleep 1; xset dpms force on

The screen is always back on in 2.6.35 and always comes back with
backlight off in 2.6.36.
