I think there are two bugs here.

The first one about the backlight appears to be fixed for most people (the suspend issue is probably a separate bug).

The second bug with the screen split by a diagonal black line (which only occurred when working around the first bug) might be https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38851 , which has been fixed upstream in the recently released kernel 3.1-rc1, and cc'd to the stable kernel maintainers for their consideration. A PPA of this kernel is available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
