Comment 17 for bug 989674

Besides https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/999638, see also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/966744 #47 et seq., https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35648#c29 as per http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2012.02.html and http://techpatterns.com/forums/about1994-10.html - nowhere near an affected machine for the next few days though to test whether modesetting/console text cursor changes make a difference.
