I can confirm that Carlos workaround works! Thanks. The only problem is that in this case we have to use the framebuffer xorg driver, that does not support composition.

Now we know that the problem is restricted to two subsystems:

1) The kernel mode setting code (in the kernel)
2) The intel xorg driver.

I have a tendency to think the the problem is in the kernel. Maybe it is time to open a bug report upstream (in the kernel bugzilla)? Or do the others think that we should open the but in th xorg driver?

Obs: I have a very good experience with this approach. Two and a half years ago I bought I Toshiba U205 laptop and suspend did not work either. After fiddling around with some help I (and others) found out that the problem was in the HD driver. We opened a bug in kernel bugzilla and the problem was solved very fast. The key here is that the bug had clearly identified the problematic subsystem and then the kernel hacker responsible for that subsystem responded very fast. I was very happy on being able to help to solve the bug in my laptop and many others Toshiba models.
