Hi,

I was just searching this topic and found this thread, as I have an
Inspiron 1501 and was just having this problem trying to install Linux
Mint 15.

I tried Ubuntu 13.04 (32bit) live USB, I booted both in 'nomodeset' and
'radeon.modeset=0'.  In both cases, it booted to the screen with colored
vertical lines.  I was able to duplicate the effect of shutting the lid
to suspend it, then when I opened and resumed the session the graphics
were OK!

So that was the standard release, but I will also test the development
release you linked to above.  Not sure I can do all the tracking you
asked for, as I'm not a developer, but will see what happens.

thanks,
Randy Earl
