The only interesting thing is from messages:
Aug  1 09:12:37 localhost restorecond: Read error (Interrupted system call)
I don't know what it means.  google didn't help.

pm-suspend.log says all is well.

I haven't been able to use any quirks.
pm-suspend gives me:
System does not support suspend sleep.
I haven't been able to figure out which file to edit to use a quirk that way.
It's possible that the only problem is that
the backlight on my AOC LCD doesn't turn on.
If I can't get a quirk to do it, is there a way to do it manually?
I could do a cntrl-alt-F4 and type blind if I knew what to type.
Since I can ssh into it, I expect that would  work.

I really hate going backwards.
