[Bug 311362] [NEW] [i965, Jaunty] Black screen after resume from suspend

[Geir Ove Myhr]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I have tried the Jaunty alpha-2 LiveCD on a Thinkpad X61 Tablet (965GM
graphics chipset).

Short descripton: After resume from suspend, the screen is black. The
mouse cursor is briefly visible when I move it or when I press  a key,
but not otherwise. Ctrl-Alt-F2 successfully changes to a virtual
terminal when I remove the boot options splash and quiet.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot from Ubuntu Jaunty alpha-2 LiveCD
2. Remove the boot options "splash" and "quiet" (to be able to use VTs afterwards)
3. Choose System -> Shut Down -> Suspend (hot key suspend has other bugs reports associated, bug 306310, bug 307977, bug 307986)
4. Wait for a minute or two
5. Press the power button to resume from suspend

Expected behaviour:
After a few seconds the desktop would be visible.

Actual behaviour:
The splash screen briefly flashes and the the screen remains black. Moving the mouse cursor makes it briefly visible, and the same does pressing a key on the keyboard. Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace does not kill the X-server. Ctrl-Alt-F2 changes to a virtual terminal. If the boot options are left unchanged, the VTs will only show the splash screen with some green corruption on top (slightly different for each VT).  The VTs apparently remain otherwise functional as it is possible to reboot by writing `sudo reboot` blindly.

PS: The X61 Tablet does not have and optical drive built in, but I have
one in the docking station.
