Comment 39 for bug 429241

This seems similar to what is happening on my Inspiron 4150 notebook. Suspend seems to work when I shut the lid, but on resume I end up with a black screen with random vertical red stripes. In my case, I am running a fresh installation of 9.10 from the 'alternate' install image, not an upgrade, and I have not changed anything yet (installed Pidgin. Unrelated, but I think this is all I changed from default installation). I can post more info if needed.

I have noticed some other graphics issues that make me think this could be unrelated to this bug.
-bright/dim controls don't work (didn't in last version of ubuntu either though)
-sometimes, when I adjust volume, the graphic volume indicator comes up graphically corrupt.

Happy to post more info, you just might have to tell me where to find it!
