The setup I have is cpufreq_ondemand for
regular use, switch to cpufreq_powersave when watching
flash movies, or media. The acpi_cpufreq module is loaded
as well. The daemon I use is powersaved.
At this point I think what I'm going to do is downgrade
my xserver, so I can load the other gpu driver, to see
how it reacts upon wakeup(that is if I can get it to load); 
This way I can determine if it's a graphics module that causing
this or not.
