And going back to non-testing (echo none ..), it works too. Which really does seem to get me back to the whole "if it fails, it seems to fail on the first suspend" thing. Don't ask me why. I have no idea. But I just suspended that machine 100+ times using the test thing (60 times at the gdm prompt, 60 times while logged in and with glxgears running to verify dri/thermal interfaces), and then a couple of times with the lid, and it all worked. But I bet that if I rebooted the machine a few times, it would eventually fail on the first suspend. Some initialization issue, perhaps?
