Same problem. This is using 64Bit Ubuntu 10.04 on a VAIO VGN-FW373J. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650.

The Bug has put me between a rock and a hard place (such that using Ubuntu on this system looks undoable). The screen is too dim to use after any Sleep or Hibernation.

Installing the 2D-3D driver solves the dimness, but introduces a host of other bugs. The screen (graphics and resolution) scrambles when recovering from screen savers, screen locks and hibernation. The Plymouth logo is also mucked up - a simple Bug that hasn't been dealt with,

//I overwrote the values in /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/mbp_backlight/brightness and /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/mbp_backlight/actual_brightness and now the brightness seems to be properly saved on suspend.//

Phillip, if you have a solution, please provide some guidance? The information you offered isn't specific enough for those of us who are non-hackers.
