I'm also using intel graphics. I didn't touch anything on my laptop
except upgrading X, and now this started misbehaving.
What should I turn off to get E not to change my blanking at all on
suspend?
Do I want to change ACPI bindings/suspend?

Right, so this is definitely unreliable on my laptop.
How do I turn this off?

Not a big deal. I don't need that feature at all, so as long as I can
turn it off, I should be good.

You are correct on that one. I wrongly assumed the mixer was moved from
the gadget bar to the window border.
What happened was that the E upgrade disabled my mixer gadget for
unknown reasons. I had to find and re-install it.
All good on that front now, thank you.
