Title:
  Backlight out for exactly 10 seconds on boot with Acer D255E

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Backlight goes out for exactly 10 seconds before returning while
  booting with an Acer AOD255E netbook. This is a backlight issue, as I
  can shine a flashlight at the screen and still see boot text scrolling
  (after removing splash and quiet).

  With "acpi=off" appended to the kernel line, this no longer occurs (Fn
  key backlight controls still work with this appended). With every
  other acpi option I have tried, this still occurs though. This
  includes "acpi_backlight" and "acpi_display_output". With
  "acpi_backlight=vendor" the entry in /sys/class/backlight changes from
  acpi_video0 to acer_wmi, but backlight still goes out.

  Otherwise backlight works correctly. System info is attached.
