I can confirm that the image I downloaded yesterday from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/current/
that is linux-image-2.6.38-997-generic_2.6.38-997.201102120912_i386.deb
is the one that works best for me so far: I've finally stopped using
2.6.36-rc5 with the 900ms patch. X comes up fine, the full HD panel
works (and it's even dithered correctly!), and suspend/resume works
also.
