** Summary changed:

- [karmic]/proc/acpi/video/VID/DOS is set to 7, breaks suspend
+ [karmic]kernel 2.6.30-10-generic breaks suspend with video-intel 2.7*

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: xserver-common
+ I am running a jaunty install with a few packages from karmic (kernel) and the KDE4.3 beta from kubuntu-ppa
+ I upgraded my xserver and intel video drivers+drm and mesa to karmic versions to solve a memory leak problem with compositting on uxa. But after this the system does not go into suspend after lid close (which it is configured to do via powerdevil) now the strange part is that it does correctly suspend and resume when I select sleep from PD menu. the stragne thing is, with 2.6.30-9-generic the whole shebang goes flawless suspend and wakeup work.
  
- I run a mostly Jaunty install, but due to memory leaking of the intel driver, xserver-common xserver-xorg-core and  I upgraded those packages to the karmic versions. After this my laptop wouldn't suspend when I closed the lid (did work from gui).
- After poking around google I came up with the above /proc path, so I went: 
- cat /proc/acpi/video/VID/DOS
- DOS setting: <7>
- 
- Some more quick research showed me that this value should be either 1 or 0 depending on whether the hardware or software should determine which display to resume on (this is only video chip resume) but never 7.
- After echoing 0 in there the suspend would run without any trouble as before.
- 
- Now I don't know exactly which packet broke this but it must be one of
- the xorg related packages since that were the only one's installed this
- afternoon. It is not the intel driver from karmic as that was installed
- earlier and didn't give me trouble suspending.
- 
- uname -r 2.6.30-9-generic
- 
- xserver version 2:1.6.1.901-2ubuntu1
+ uname -r 2.6.30-10-generic
+ Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Version: 2:2.7.99.1+git20090602.ec2fde7c-0ubuntu2
