[David Wührer <def@gmx.at>]

Package: linux-source-2.6.37
Version: 2.6.37-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream sid patch


It is a known issue upstream that on Intel GPUs when DPMS blanks the screen
the backlight stays turned off when the screen is turned back on.

Chris Wilson committed a patch for this to upstream here
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22672#c42

which can be downloaded here
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=43272

and I can confirm that this patch fixes the issue with 2.6.37.

Upstream it will be part of 2.6.38.
