These patches fix video issues on Dell Latitude E6410. Reported in bugs

The patches apply cleanly to 2.6.33.y (see attachments), and they were 
tested against the latest Lucid kernel and reported to fix the 2 issues. 
Kernel was tested by user community, as well as, on hardware available at 
Canonical.

Regarding the issue with dim back-light on resume, Jesse wrote to me saying 
he suspects some other agent like firmware might be a suspect in zeroing 
it out before the driver saves it, ie driver seems to do the right thing.
