My laptop can't hibernate - it just doesn't resume. Is it a userspace issue or kernel space? How to debug it? Frankly, I don't care.

My another notebook with crappy Poulsbo video card fails to resume from suspend-to-RAM in about 10% of cases. Oh, and it uses a proprietary driver. You do accept kernel bugs for proprietary drivers, don't you?

This change is nuts. There are good use-cases for doing just nothing instead of inventing 'solutions' aimed to work around the bugs in certain hardware.

If you don't care, ignore it. If you care, file it with the hardware details, kernel version and let the developer ask for more information if necessary.

I've had experience with an attempt to post a bug for a tainted kernel. I don't want to repeat this experience.

Easy enough to see whether any proprietary drivers are resulting in the breakage by disabling them temporarily. If the problem is still there, report to LKML. If not, consult with the proprietary driver vendor.

No, it doesn't happen. However, there's no Compiz and OpenGL running and I'm fairly sure it's caused by Compiz.

Then file it against Compiz. I don't see the reason to resist doing that if you have already figured out the source.
