No core stuff is altered from Squeeze. Whatever your DE, that is unlikely to cause hibernate/resume issues. A quick look through the search engines shows others with similar problems, e.g. : http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/02/msg01689.html Most likely this is neither a bug from Exe nor TDE I have nothing that new here to test that (and never actually used hibernate/resume) Squeeze is ~2 years old now, wheezy is coming soon Have you tried the latest kernel from squeeze-backports? firmware-linux-nonfree installed?
