After the screensaver kicks in (with version 2.2.1 of the driver) and
the LVDS backlight is turned off, having the screen come back doesn't
turn the backlight back on.  Doing a randr then kicks it into coming
back on.

This is on an 945GM (Thinkpad X60T)

Happens with Fedora kernels since about a week before the bug was filed,
so various 2.6.25-rc-ish kernels.  I'm pretty sure airlied has patched
in current git drm, though, on top of that.

On my GM945(HP 500), I decreased the brightness by typing:
xbacklight -set 20

when screensaver started, I think the backlight is not turned off
because the brightness does not change.

After screen comes back, backlight is correct as before screensaver.

My test against FC8(kernel 2.6.23) and upstream tip for all component(2D
driver, xserver, Drm).

Jeremy, please provide more detailed description of your environment, as
we can't reproduce your issue here in our environment. Following the
requirements mentioned in comment# 1 would be good enough... thanks.

Jeremy, a few more things:
  - 'xrandr --prop'
  - results when ACPI 'video' kernel driver is loaded
  - results when thinkpad_acpi is loaded

thinkpad_acpi gets loaded by dmi, so it was loaded.  video wasn't but I
tried it at one point and it didn't make a difference.

But note that that run is after building the driver with th ebacklight patch you posted to the xorg list last week.  And said patch fixes things for me.
