I had thought so, too, but apparently not.

Nope.  Same problem, with and without the "kill".

Note, I know people have encountered this problem with the radeon card
in various models, but this is the first time I've heard of this problem
with the i830 chipset -- there are other issues with the i830, yes, but
not the "freeze box on resume".

Oh, and one other "data point"... something appears to be going on an
infinite loop, because about 10 secs after coming back from suspend (and
after it appears to "freeze up"), the fan kicks on at full speed, and
stays on.

FWIW, I've gone back to 2.6.12.3, and everything is just fine: APM
suspend/resume, swsusp, etc.

I'll be trying the -mm patch-set to see if that resolves the issue.
