Suspend + resume has worked flawlessly on this laptop for a long time
with the occacional glitch in rawhide of course. The machine is a HP
Compaq nc6400 and was quite popular as a "business" laptop over here a
couple of years ago at least. I've got another one just like it so I can
test whether this is bad hardware at least :-)

See the thread I pointed to in the last comment. This looked like it's a
general kernel problem and is quite similar to one of the top reported
oops by kerneloops:

Still trying to get more information out of this bug. Any pointers to
things I can do to get more output from xorg, the intel driver or the
kernel here?
