Yes,  the workaround for this bug is something that a novice can do. When
I'm back at my laptop I'll write out the procedure and add it to this bug
report. One warning: your graphics will suffer. But, I've found this to be a
small price to pay for suspend.

have more info. This has started occurring only after I upgraded from Ubuntu
9.04 to 9.10. I'm sure it has something to do with one of those new
packages, but I don't know which.

computer has frozen and I've needed to do a hard reset (hold power button
down for five seconds) to get it to reboot. Maybe if I gave it more time to
come out of Suspend (I wait like 20 seconds) it might do so without the hard
reset, but I don't know currently. I dealt with this by changing the power
options such that it does not suspend when plugged in (which it always is).
