Bug#591073: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: Suspend-to-RAM regression -- Possible solution
An update to this report which might help with the solution: While the old
system based on Kernel package version 2.6.32-3 worked, I've experienced
graphics slowdowns after resume. Just today I've come across #587722 which
seems to be related. It hints at installing firmware-linux. Its dependency
linux-firmware-free was already installed, but firmware-linux-nonfree was not
yet present.
When I installed it, I've experienced the same issue as Pietro, the submitter
of #587722, namely that Kernel 2.6.32-3 doesn't resume at all anymore.
However, with the newer kernel packages and in particular 2.6.35-trunk the
resume works flawlessly now after several tries, and on top of it it also fixes
the slowdown issue after resume.
Therefore, in summary, Kernel 2.6.35 + firmware-linux-nonfree is the best
combination for my system. Now I guess the next step is to find out if the non-
free part is really needed. If my observations are correct, it might make
sense to retitle the report accordingly.
I will also add a note to #587722.
