Public bug reported: I have a Dell Latitude E6440 laptop (http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201306-13687/), with the switchable AMD graphics option, running Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS.
I followed the installation instructions provided by Dell: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/rc1046313/DriverDetails/Product/latitude-e6440-laptop?driverId=Y24FF&osCode=1204A&fileId=3332894306&languageCode=EN&categoryId=CS And after installation of Ubuntu and the Dell driver package, the laptop is running very well. However, I suffer from a bug preventing my laptop to suspend. On suspend, the screen just turns black but the laptop is still powered on. None of the key combinations I tried was able to restore the display, forcing me to do a hard shut down. Suspend sometimes does work but is very rare. I could not identify a pattern. One time where suspend worked consecutively, I got a kernel panic, which I took a screenshot of using my phone. I have also tried performing suspend on Ubuntu 12.04.3 using both Live CD and a clean install, but same thing happens. I also have an install of Debian Unstable, same symptoms with suspend on kernel version 3.12 and 3.13. Please let me know what type of information I can provide to help fix this bug. Please be verbose, as my kernel debugging skills are non- existent.
