Might be useful to throw in some hibernate/resume test cases. I installed 3.8.16 on my Inspiron 1545. Based on my impressions so far I am afraid I will probably be bumping back down to 3.8.10 in the near future.

I have from time to time had the screen remain completely black on resume. I can switch to a virtual terminal, log in, and run "sudo service restart gdm" and then I get noise as if gdm is restarting but the screen remains black. That behavior was occasional with 3.8.10 and may have something to do with resuming with the external monitor in a different plugged/unplugged state from when the system entered hibernation. However on 3.8.16 I could see the screen blanking out the same why while hibernation was starting... and it resumed to that unhappy state. So far it's just one data point but I am not encouraged.

That said, the plug/unplug behavior does seem somewhat better with 3.8.16.
