That seems to have worked. Thank you

I am just the maintainer of the aur package. However, please try loading i915 in modules for mkinitcpio and regen initramfs. See if that helps and post back results. If it doesn't, just remove it and regen initramfs.

The fix works great for suspend/resume. However now when I boot up, the backlight is always at 0%. Which means that I have to login blind. Once I login and x is started, I am able to use my keybindings to call xbacklight and backlight returns. Any ideas what this could be? I haven't had the time to do perform any tests yet. Suggestions on what I could check to debug this issue?

@ryley, Hi, I just checked testing repo and was unable to find 3.14 so I'm thinking you pulled in kernel from upstream and compiled? I cannot offer any suggestions on troubleshooting for this, sorry.

@ryley, Hi, what changes are you referring to? The sha1sum does match upstream. Also, upstream hasn't updated in 2 months. If the sha1sum did not match an error stating a mismatch would be shown and can be avoid with a skip checksum. I am unable to reproduce the error you have when I tested on 3.13.7-1-Arch and 3.13.7-1-ck. You can manually install it to troubleshoot further.

Anyone having issues with dkms building the module for kernel 3.14 ("implicit declaration of function ‘ACPI_FREE_BUFFER’" etc) will have to rebuild this package to reflect the upstream changes available from patjak's github page. It might be necessary to change the sha1sum of mba6x_bl.c in the PKGBUILD.

@hobarrera - It worked with or without it for me but I will include it in the next update. Just need some time to clean out the pkgbuild atm. Still testing and learning. Thanks for the feedback so far :) I appreciate it.

Also, it makes no sense to not-include /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/98-mba6bl.conf: https://gist.github.com/hobarrera/8934616
