Bug#670417: backlight dimmed at initrd startup



Package: linux-image-2.6-amd64
Version: 3.2+44

On a Lenovo T420s laptop the screen backlight is dimmed
from the power-on default to "very low" at boot time.
This happens after Grub started the kernel and while the

	Loading initial ramdisk...

is shown, but before all the "usual" hardware initialization
happens (quiet mode is off).

This is highly annoying, esp. if you have to enter a Luks
password at boot time to decrypt the root partition, but you
cannot read the screen.

The laptop is connected to AC. All the power management
options in the BIOS are set to "Performance". Most recent
BIOS update is installed.

On a Samsung laptop there is no such problem (using the
same boot disk).
