I apologize if this info is unhelpful or inappropriate here, but I thought I'd mention it.

I have what may the same problem described above, with getting a black screen upon resume. I have found that adding "nomodeset" to the line that says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" in my /etc/default/grub resolves the resume problem. This solution was found here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/557224

It is my understanding that adding nomodeset turns off Kernel Mode Setting. If I am experiencing the same bug as the one discussed above, then, perhaps it is reasonable to conclude that the KMS is the problem and NOT the intel xorg driver?

My info:
Ubuntu 10.04
Kernel Linux 2.6.32-22-generic
GNOME 2.30.0
Dell Inspiron 600m
Intel Pentium M 2.00 GHz, 1 GB RAM
ATI rv250 Mobility 9000

I tried the kernel in the x-swat PPA as well, with no change. Thanks.
