On my Thinkpad A30p I was able to reactivate my trackpoint after resume
by setting hint.psm.0.flags="0x6000" in /boot/device.hints.

Could you tell me more about you resume issues? I have a Radeon Mobility
as well an my backlight does not turn off, when going to suspend nuder a
normal CURRENT. Did you also use that DPMS patch posted here a while
ago, or did you only use that vesa patch?

No other modifications, any sysctls...?

Thanks, Jochen
