I made a test today and reverted to the default "intel" driver from the repositories with generic xorg.conf and modified '/etc/default/acpi-support' file. To make my notebook resume properly, with both drivers (patched and official one) I only need to disable the following options:

# Should we save and restore state using the VESA BIOS Extensions?
#SAVE_VBE_STATE=true
# The file that we use to save the vbestate
#VBESTATE=/var/lib/acpi-support/vbestate

The other options, that I have had disabled in my previous post do not effect suspend/resume on my notebook.

I know, that the following is a bit out of place in this bug, but there are a lot of misleading described bug reports out there and I don't know how to describe this problem correctly. You can laugh about it, but it is really a problem sometimes. :)

The official driver from the repos can handle switching to a hot-plugged external monitor. Resolution auto adjustment is not perfect, but still.
With the patched driver from Peter, switching to a hot-plugged external monitor leads to black screen and system freeze, where even syscalls don't help.
