Hi Zhang,

It is not a recent regression, all of the kernels I tried back to 2.6.28 shows 
the same problem. The test results I posted last night was with 2.6.30-rc6. I 
suspect it did not happen in 2.6.27, but I might be wrong since I could not 
bisect that far back (I am using EXT4 and have too many issues to bisect that 
far back).

When I resume from suspend to RAM there is no problem.

When I resume from hibernate, my laptop actually remains unusable until I do the 
combination of things I mentioned. I cannot log in from remote or even ping the 
laptop, except if I first press the mentioned key combo. Before this, the 
display is either entirely blank or sometimes there is a white cursor in the top 
left corner.

The blank screen happens in runlevel 3 without X or "i915" loaded - I'm not sure 
but I suppose you want the "xrandr" output for another reason. It is interesting 
that it happens regardless of whether I am using Intel integrated graphics or 
Mobility Radeon HD 3650 (my laptop has both and I can enable one at a time). I 
boot the system with vga=791 and it is using vesafb for console.

I attached the output you asked for below after hibernating an Xorg session, but 
this is from just after pressing the combo as I could not log in over the 
network with the laptop in the blank state.

Thanks,
Niel
