To install latest Intel drivers that work properly with suspend/resume on laptops:

1. Add fatih's overlay repository pisi ar fatih-overlay http://cekirdek.pardus.org.tr/~fatih/packages/2008/pisi-index.xml.bz2

2. Move it up to the top of repositories list, otherwise you will not get an update. You can either remove all other repositories, add fatih-overlay and then readd old repos or edit file /var/lib/pisi/info/repos and move <Repo> section with fatih-overlay to the top.

3. pisi it libdrm xorg-video to install latest intel 2.7.0 driver.

4. Logout and restart your X server.

5. Some howto's suggest that Option "Tiling" "off" improves 3D performance, but on my laptop (lenovo x60t) it causes segfaults in X when suspending/hibernating so better leave it alone.

2.7.0 driver has some unresolved bugs, Option "FramebufferCompression" "off" may solve the bug with screen going suddenly black, I personally didn't have it after video upgrade.
