So, since the Ibex upgrade, my good old milkyway has been resuming to a corrupted X. This seems to be EXA’s fault. After much struggling and debugging I found that if I force XAA acceleration in xorg.conf, I won’t suffer this problem and my suspend will be useful again!.
So, to fix it, you just need to add this to the Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Option “AccelMethod” “XAA“
You can see my bug report to the intel driver here: Bug 18806 – [855GM] Xorg crashes during resume if Accel is enabled with EXA
Note that it also works if you are using EXA and you disable Accel. I don’t recommend that solution. See the bug if you doubt if this applies for your laptop or system, it has lspci info about my card.
