Laptop screen doesn't light during resume, even with Vbetool

Hi, I'm having problems getting my Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop to resume correctly.

Now, before you tell me to search the forums, I assure you I've done that .

The laptop: I recently switched from gentoo to arch (I'm loving it so far, this'll be the last glitch I need to solve), so I'm using a similar setup to what I had before, where I have it catch an acpi event (the LID event), check to see if the lid is open/closed, then have it run hibernate, which is set up to use ram.conf, which in turn uses sysfs-ram.conf, with these Vbetool options enabled in the ram.conf:

EnableVbetool yes
VbetoolPost yes

Here's sysfs-ram.conf, the conf with most of my options:

UseSysfsPowerState mem

OnSuspend 20 /etc/rc.d/network stop

Runi915resolution yes
OnResume 20 /usr/bin/xbindkeys
OnResume 20 amixer set Master toggle
OnResume 20 amixer set Master toggle

OnResume 30 /etc/rc.d/network restart
OnResume 20 /usr/local/bin/vbt

OnResume 10 vbetool dpms on

Include common.conf

The issue is present with the /usr/local/bin/vbt script and vbetool dpms on removed. (vbt is a script I made to toggle my laptop's screen to save power).

I've tried multiple methods and just can't seem to figure it out - I have that vbt script set to fn + F5, but pressing that doesn't work, although changing to another VT and then back to VT7 works just fine.

Thanks!

Re: Laptop screen doesn't light during resume, even with Vbetool

I added those and they just made it take a little bit longer to fail .  Although, I don't actually see the options started in the hibernate.log.  After looking at the log, it seems that Vbetool is saving its state even when resuming, which might be the issue.  Here's the log:

Re: Laptop screen doesn't light during resume, even with Vbetool

Alright, it looks like it was doing something strange saving the state - if I have my /etc/rc.local script initiate a manual state save at boot and then change my hibernate options to *just* use that saved state, everything works fine.
