    "After resuming from S3 (suspended while in X), the LCD panel stays black .
     However, the laptop is up again, and I can SSH into it from another
    machine.
    
    I can get the panel working again, when I first direct video output to the
    CRT output of the laptop, and then back to LCD (done by repeatedly hitting
    Fn+F5 buttons on the Toshiba, which directs output to either LCD, CRT or
    TV) None of this ever happened with older kernels."
    
    This bug is due to the recently added vesafb_blank() method in vesafb.  It
    works with CRT displays, but has a high incidence of problems in laptop
    users.  Since CRT users don't really get that much benefit from hardware
    blanking, drop support for this.
