Herton, Seth:
I finally managed to apply the latest BIOS update for this Toshiba machine. So first I'd like to offer a huge apology for taking so long to perform this update.
The versions the machine shipped with were:
System BIOS Version: 1.40 (dated 12/13/09)
EC Version: 1.30
I downloaded an update that was published on May 25th, 2011. This bumps the BIOS to the following versions, as can be verified in the setup screen accessible by hitting F2:
System BIOS Version: 3.10
EC Version: 1.90
With this new BIOS, I'm happy to report that the system suspends and restores without issue, video comes back up just fine. So it looks like the assessment that this was a buggy BIOS was spot-on.
So far I've only tried this with Natty (kernel 2.6.38-8), I'll update in a bit with results from Maverick (2.6.35).
Please let me know if you'd like me to perform other tests to validate this. I won't touch the bug's status as I'm not sure how to proceed when a bug gets "fixed" by a BIOS update.
Thanks!
