Bug#565344: [xserver-xorg-video-radeon] Black screen after resume from suspend to disk/RAM

Package: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
Version: 1:6.12.4-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

after an upgrade to version 6.12.4-2 from 6.12.3-1 I get nothing but a
mouse cursor and a black screen when I resume the machine from suspend
to disk or RAM.

The mouse cursor and keyboard apperently work fine in the "invisible"
X-session: I can type my password into the invisiable GNOME screensaver
and blindly do things like starting music playback in rhythmbox - so
obviously everything is up and running but not displayed on the screen
(except the mouse cursors).

Switching to a text console seems to work, but it's also invisable. I
can blindly log in and run commands. I tried restarting GDM/X from the
console. When I restart gdm I get back a visible GDM/X and after that
it's again possible to switch back to a visible (!) text console.

I wanted to try out the same sequence of suspend, resume, black screen
(?) with radeonhd, but when I use that driver my machine completely
locks up when suspend is trying to snapshot the system. Sorry, I can't
give any information with that configuration.

Turning off and on compositing in metacity (gconf key:
/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager) didn't fix anything. Also,
I am not running compiz nor KMS and there is no self-compiled stuff in
use. The only "special" thing is, that I'm using mesa 7.7 from
experimental. But when 6.12.3-1 was installed I had mesa 7.7~rc2-1
packages from experimental installed and suspend/resume worked just
fine with these packages!

Some other stuff about the machine:
fuddl at muhmuh:~$ uname -a

Version: 0.22

  Thank you!
