Re: Blank screen when rebooting an ibm thinkpad over ssh
In my opinion what is happening is that the backlight is just not turned on when the computer comes back up. If this compter has X on it I would recommend trying to startx as when it starts it will take over control of the backlight. Or,you could try running
# echo 5 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness as root. Finally xbacklight may help if you can get X running.
