current mainstream hangs on *every* resume (Carlos observed the same
hangs on wakeup from s2ram but while the cause for him were the wireless
drivers it must be something else here)...

so this bug and the bug I am having is again hidden under something
else. one thing I noticed: The machine resumes and numlock still works
when using an external usb keyboard. still no display and also no second
s2ram possible :(

Well, this sounds quite serious, but I have no idea what the problem may be.
