Trident Driver - Back light screw up after screen saver

the "screw up the lcd backlight after resuming / screen saver" has imho more to do with the hardware implemented powermanagement of the graphics system "dpms". "xset -q" shows the status and "xset -dpms" disables it. i integrated "xset -dpms" in a startscript and got rid of it entirely.
regards, m.

Thus, I have created small bash script that will check the dpms state and disable it if its enabled. You can download it at http://www.freewebs.com/duckzland/stopdpms.tar.bz2

Feel free to upgrade, change, modified and destroy it as you like it, but kindly let me have a copy of the modified version.

Cheers
