[Ka-nick <1034002@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've the same issue on my HP4545s laptop (A4-4300M CPU).
At boot time I get 
...
[drm:radeon_acpi_init] *ERROR* Cannot find a backlight controller
...
then the computer boots and works just fine (except the brightness control is @ /sys/class/backlight/radeon_bl0/brightness, commonly unrecognizable by the software) but after resuming I have totally black screen. I can still ssh to it: it resumes normally - the only thing that goes wrong is the screen remains off. (It goes off as soon as the resume process begins). Kernels 3.9.X still have the issue.
I'm not sure the absence of the ACPI-controllable brightness is relevant to the case.

Title:
  Lenovo E525 screen black on resume

Status in Direct Rendering Infrastructure:
  Confirmed
Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I did the kernel smoke test for the quantal kernel on precise.

  I can suspend and resume however when I resume I the screen stays
  black.   It looks like the backlight isn't coming on, but it's
  noteable that I don't see anything on my external screen either.    I
  can see consoles on my external monitor (over HDMI) and if I
  disconnect the HDMI cable and reconnect it then I am also able to see
  my Unity session on that screen.

  This issue is present with both the quantal kernel and the stock 12.04
  one.

  My setup is a Lenovo Thinkpad E525, AMD A8-3500m.
