It has something to do with console change not with suspend. So the
easiest way confirm the issue is to run a video with Totem (xv) and
close it. Then switch to console and back. If you are lucky you got no
gray rectangles (Bug # 127101) and come back to desktop. Now start
another video with Totem, which should have a black video window, let it
run for some seconds and then close it. System should freeze. Maybe you
have to wait some seconds longer for video play if nothing happens.

** Summary changed:

- new Intel driver freezes system on video play after suspend
+ new Intel driver freezes system on video play after changing to console

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
- Thanks to the overlay fix video playing works fine under compiz with new 
Intel driver but after suspend, which works fine, every xv player shows only a 
black or blue screen. The sound is working but there is no image. After some 
seconds, normally after closing the Video player, the laptop freezes completely 
that even the hardware mute button doesn't work anymore (led doesn't flash). 
Both problems happen without compiz too but it seems that it takes a little bit 
longer or another video start after suspend to crash the system. If I don't 
start any video after suspend Laptop doesn't seem to freeze (independent of 
compiz).
- The freeze isn't similar to the Bug #127101, which often crashes my Laptop 
too, since it happens without switching video mode and the desktop is still 
watchable (no gray rectangles).

  I hadn't this problem with i810 at least before trying new Intel driver.
  I am using Sony TX2 laptop with i915 graphic card and current Gutsy.

- Is there any possibility to get the Intel driver without the Overlay fix
- to check if they are connected?
