A side note: I'm totally unhappy with _kernel_ bugs being handled at bugs.freedesktop.org without a notice anywhere else. Even though they are related to the graphics, the kernel developers in general at least deserve the information that the bugs have been reported. In this particulare case, the bug is clearly related to ACPI and linux-acpi should have received a notification about it. > Well, it's probably far-fetched, but maybe the two are somehow related...

Saving the image, suspending devices or the entire hibernation overall?
