2.6.29-rc breaks STD using Intel 945

Hi,

I tested several snapshots post 2.6.28 and all of them show one severe
problem: resume from disk is not always successful. Only about 50% of the
resume attempts work, in the other cases I just get a completely black
screen, can't switch to text console or anything. What I often get is a line
like this in the logs directly before suspend:

[drm:i915_get_vblank_counter] *ERROR* trying to get vblank count for disabled
pipe 0

Afterwards I find nothing in the logs. Switching back to 2.6.28 and everything
works fine again. I have a Toshiba A110-178 running openSuSE 11.1 32 bit with
KDE 4.2.0. I upgraded my Xserver from 1.5 to 1.6 yesterday but that did not
change anything. The only external module I use is the omnibook module
(http://sf.net/projects/omnibook) which I've been using for years without any
problems.

VGA device is this:

If you have any patches you want to try me or have any further questions just
mail me. If you're hanging around at CeBIT I can come over and we can discuss
this in person as I'm there for the next days anyway.

Greetings,

Eike
