The problem has gone away. I didn't proceed scientifically, but here is what I did, in the event it helps anyone with a similar issue:
Believing pulseaudio to be the culprit, I uninstalled it. Then the laptop went into suspend properly, but wouldn't come out of it (screen flickering, slightly different flickers depending on whether EXA or UXA was used in xorg.conf). I enabled KMS, no change. With the live-usbstick, suspend worked without any problems. I then reset xorg.conf (attaching the current version) - surprise, suspend now works great. So the problem seems to have been that I kept xorg.conf from Jaunty. I now reinstalled pulseaudio to confirm whether it really has to do with it - suspend still works, so pulseaudio doesn't seem to have been the issue to begin with. ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35965036/xorg.conf -- [LENOVO 1702WKF] (Thinkpad X60) suspend/resume failure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362484 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
