Thanks, finally works very well without crashes on lid-close or sleep, even after removing the line from xorg.conf!

The kernel part of the fix breaks external monitor support, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/gentoo/+bug/796030

Can we please revert this patch from the kernel?

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

That fix has been in place for years. Lots of hardware would likely break if it was reverted.

Rather, it will need to be massaged a bit to not cause whatever issue you're seeing.
