Problem with LCD brightness buttons after suspend-to-ram

On my X60 1706-BM7, it's possible to suspend-to-ram either using s2ram or just "echo mem > /sys/power/state". There's a problem I've noticed, that after I resumed the machine, the LCD brightness buttons take longer to respond. Symptoms are:

  • Before suspending, whenever I press the LCD brightness up/down keys, the screen promptly respond by dimming or brighten up.
  • After resuming, whenever I press the same keys again, it takes about 1 sec. for the screen to dim or brighten up.
  • After resuming, if I use the command "echo down > /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness" or "echo up > /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness", the screen will respond right away, just like before suspending.
  • Without suspending, using "vbetool post" doesn't give this behaviour.

So I think this problem is related to the buttons itself. Does anyone have a similar experience? Any solutions? --WilliamPoetra 10:55, 25 March 2007 (CST)
