You should try to rewrite a value in /proc/acpi/asus/brn _after_ wakeup.  That
should reset LCD brightness to a sane value. The part of my acpi script (based
on eeedora), that works for me with "lid" events looks like that :

if [ "${acpi}" == "lid" ]; then
 wifi_off
 su username -c "DISPLAY=:0 gnome-screensaver-command --lock"
 pm-suspend --quirk-dpms-on --quirk-s3-bios
 sleep 10
 su username -c "DISPLAY=:0 gnome-screensaver-command --poke"
 wifi_on
 brn=`</proc/acpi/asus/brn`
 echo $brn > /proc/acpi/asus/brn
 note='resume'
fi
