suspend/resume fails on second attempt in LNXVIDEO:00

I'm trying to debug a resume problem on a compaq presario C700 laptop on
the Ubuntu 2.6.24-22-generic kernel.

I've used the /sys/power/pm_trace facility to debug the problem to the
following:

[ 31.212062] Magic number: 0:716:374
[ 31.212115] hash matches /build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/drivers/base/power/main.c:97
[ 31.212255] hash matches device LNXVIDEO:00

Not sure where to go from here though. Devices in this machine are:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 03)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 03)
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)

These symptoms mirror a lot of other reports with this machine in that
the first suspend/resume cycle works but a second attempts (apparently)
suspends fine but fails on resume. The backlight on the video does not
come back and neither does the wireless connection, so I'm not positive
the problems are purely video related.

How can I proceed from here to further debug what kind of workarounds or
solutions I might be able to use to get reliable suspend/resume
functionality?

Thanx,
b.
