Description:
Shortly after my eee 1000he (intel atom n280, intel gma graphics) has woken up from suspend to ram the screen starts to show short distortions or jitter several times until it locks up (this can take 10's of minutes) on a black screen or some other color (I have seen it lock on red also). The machine is still fully functional via SSH meaning the machine hasn't locked up. Restarting X does not help, only a reboot does, suggesting a driver problem?

It sounds like a hardware problem but it never ever happens if the systems has not gone to sleep first which suggests it is software. Also a reboot always fixes is immediately.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
kernel26-2.6.32.5-1 (but it does not have to be the kernel I think.)
xorg-server-1.7.3.902-1
kde4.3.4-1
* config and/or log files etc.
The log files don't show anything weird, as far as I can tell, suggestions welcome

Steps to reproduce:
Close laptop, wake it up.
This task depends upon

Hmm sounds like this one actually however this one does not seem to be related to standyby:

nope, no duplicate of  FS#17705 , I don;t see a mouse and can't switch to tty's.

This one and the two suggest above do sound very similar though and all involve intel atoms and intel GMA graphics.

I guess that is a good idea to report this to upstream. Try first with devs of xf86-video-intel. Please paste the link here. Thanks.
