It seems that there is still a regression for intel graphic cards
backlight. One report is https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22672.
I can reproduce the problem easily by:
xset dpms force standby; sleep 3s; xset dpms force on

backlight doesn't get up (there is really dark picture though which
doesn't get brighter by function keys which work normally) after dpms on
until I close and open lid. 

The problem wasn't present in 2.6.36
