Bug Description
I had this Linux Mint installed into my HP Dell Mini laptop and already loving it,
But I recently had set up the standby when laptop closes....and I had noticed something...every time I open the laptop to wake it up, the screen stays blank.
My guess is this is an issue from the brightness setting as the screen will stay blank, no matter if i press a random key or the mouse buttons. The only button that makes the screen "Wake up" is the brightness buttons which is (Fn F3 and Fn F4 which would be Brightness down and Brightness up setting) So I assume perhaps when waking the computer up...the "turn on backlight" command is missing or something?
Let me know what's up and if there will be a fix for that. Thanks....Loving this OS so far!!!
At first I did computer restart everytime this happened....One wouldn't be too happy if they had to save the a document but had thought to have to restart to restore the screen and lose it all unknowing that the brightness buttons on laptop is the solution.
