I rebooted with 3.18-rc5. The graphics driver is now broken. The
system has reverted to a lower resolution. Even when I try booting the
previously working 3.16-24 and 3.16-23 I cannot get proper resolution.
On 3.18-rc5 I cannot resume from suspend whether the suspend was
performed manually or by closing and opening the lid. Remember in 14.10
the system actually resumes. The ONLY problem is that it does not turn
the backlight on. All I want is for someone to tell me what I have to
do to turn the backlight on. Otherwise 14.10 is resuming from suspend fine.

Meanwhile: How do I fix the graphics that were broken when I installed
3.18-rc5?
