BTW: turning white does not necessarily mean "screen is dying" but can also mean "LCD is powered off and slowly turning transparent but the backlight is still on" which brings me back to the original subject: Sharp PC-AR10 (ATI rage mobility P/M AGP 2x), which is sort of the crappiest hardware i have ever seen, has working S3 without any tricks. The backlight is not turned off at S3 but in fact it is explicitly turned on (if i do "xset dpms force off" before suspend, it turns back on after or shortly before entering suspend) and the screen slowly goes white (because TFT power is turned off), but if you enter S3 via lidswitch this does not matter since the lidswitch turns off the backlight :-) -- Stefan Seyfried, QA / R&D Team Mobile Devices, SUSE LINUX, Nürnberg.
