Actually testing with/without drm would probably also be helpful - if a machine can reliably suspend/resume without DRM or active USB then it means that people can focus just on the DRM side. > In any case, three ThinkPads have netbsd8 release on it, so testing is > easier and they exhibit issues: T30, R51 and T43 (the latter with a > regression compared to release).

Again, it might be interesting to see if the regression is in suspend/resume with DRM or more general :) Thanks David
