closing and opening the lid freezes the computer completely (after opening the LID, I can see either the complete original contents of the screen, or silouhette of xscreensaver window decorations, but the machine is dead by then (neither ctrl-alt-backspace-backspace nor switching to text console doesn't work).
It definitely worked with older kernels, but I unfortunately don't have all the data needed for bisection, as the old kernels have been wiped off the machine in the meantime.

Indeed many i915 Gen4 bugs have been discovered on this particular notebook. I like it, there is no way I am getting rid of it :)
Thanks,
