Hi Herton,

OK, so I dist-upgraded my Natty to have the latest and greatest of all, this comes with kernel 2.6.38-5 which is, as expected, bad as it still has the faulty commit.

I then tested the one you sent, version string as follows:

Linux version 2.6.38-6-generic (root@tangerine) (gcc version 4.4.5 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5) ) #33~lp719620r1 SMP Fri Mar 4 18:20:29 UTC 2011

This one suspends/resumes correctly, which, as pertains to this bug, is the expected/desired behavior with the faulty commit reverted. So I can confirm that removing that commit makes the Tecra A11 resume correctly from suspend.

Now, this kernel has some weird interaction with the rest of the system, because when X comes up, all I see is the desktop background and one folder, but there's no panels, no Unity and no window manager. After a bit, a window pops up about a compiz crash. I managed to suspend the system by pushing the power button and selecting "suspend", after which it resumes and correctly brings up the backlight.

I suspect our faulty commit has nothing to do with this, but I thought you should know about that weird behavior.

Thanks!
