Added CCs.

Thomas, on what hardware did you observe the regression?  Is it suspend
or resume that is unreliable?  What are the particular symptoms --- does
not suspend, crashes during suspend, crashes during resume...?

suspend never finishes/hangs.

Does not suspend, backlight is on.

and is randomly suffering from exactly the same problems...

So, I've applied your hint (in i915_drv.h), rebuilt a kernel, booted, and
I've now successfully managed to go thru several suspend/resume cycles
without having the machine hanging while suspend !

Will check in the long term, but so far, it's a win !

Thx,
Paul

I have to add a me too (HP 6730B, same PCI ids).
I was suffering from the same problem which seem completely gone with 
the suggested hint.

Seems to be fixed in 2.6.36-rc2. Probably by merge commit 
4238a417a91643e1162a98770288f630e37f0484.

Paul, Roberto: Could you please confirm this on your hardware?

kind regards

I've just installed 2.6.36-rc2 on my machine, and I've tested a few
"Sleep", and so far, no problem any more...

So, I can't help you on the "is this the exact commit ?", but it is fixed
(or at least it looks as if ;)

Paul

I have the same issue on a GM45 and Thomas's hack works in fixing it. It
is still present in 2.6.35.
