I did some experiment, I go to intel_backlight directory.
It show brightness is 4648, but actual_brightness is 0.
Then I do "echo 4648 > brightness", the screen actually
come back to light. X window function properly.

However, if I go to suspend and resume. It is black screen
again.

If I use the Fn+Brightness to adjust the brightness. It seems
the ACPI brightness is set to lowest. One press of "Fn+Brightness up"
will give me about 10% of the brightness. It does not feel like
white is the new black.
