I've been experiencing an intermittent problem on my TP R32 running
Fedora Core 1/Kernel 2.4.22-1.2188 with the radeon driver.
The LCD screen randomly goes dark. It happens randomly, even when I am
in the middle of something, so it's not the APM timer. Nothing I can do
will get it back (I tried all the Fn+ keys, and many other key combos).
The backlight and display both shut off, so I can't see anything.
However, I can ssh into the machine, so I know it's working.
Is there a command line program I can run to get the LCD to turn on
again? Has anyone else experienced this?
