Hello, I am noticing that when resuming from suspend with 11 alpha 6, the system freezes once in a while with similar symptoms on a Toshiba Satellite machine as well as a Panasonic Toughbook. Both of these machines have intel GMA950 graphics. I would assume that it is a kernel panic but I am not quite sure because I am totally blind. I do know that I can no longer use my power button to shut down the machine and also that I can no longer log in on another TTY because I have a pc speaker beep set up to sound for after I log in. I would file a bug report about this but I think if someone else was able to reproduce the bug, they may be able to gather more information. For example, I don't even know if the screen works after login and starting X or if it returns to normal operation when resuming from suspend the times it does work since I can't see it. Accessibility services within Gnome don't use video hooking as is commonly done in other operating systems so even if the screen was totally corrupted, things would work fine for me with my screen reader and I would have no idea. Sometimes when it does resume correctly, I get errors from witness and drm in the output of dmesg. I often use xrandr to disable the monitors since these are laptops and I can get better battery life this way. I have noticed that when the lcd panels are disabled, I don't have issues with freezing after resume, however, I still get errors printed to the terminal about DRM. I would be happy to provide any info that would be helpful in a bug report, however, I need to be able to gather it from within a desktop environment because that is where my screen readers work. Thanks.
