On resume from suspend on a Sony VaioPCG-V505DX , the screen briefly flashes a very corrupt image. The corruption is temporary, lasting only a couple of seconds or so, but it is a bad look nonetheless. Screen corruption is often accompanied by loud beeping (bug #235686), which is an unnecessarily jarring start to an X session.
Suspend to RAM otherwise works fine.
