Intel Haswell Laptop Impact When Running XMir

Originally posted by Siekacz View PostWell, I'm a Mir user right now, because of one reason. Xorg developers seemingly have no idea how to make suspend working. Every kernel and Xorg update is a russian roulette - suspend sometimes work, sometimes not. When I switch to Mir everything runs just fine. Now I'm waiting for the next week's release - unredirect fullscreen windows and multimonitor support will be on place. Then I'll say goodbye to crappy XServer, which messed up everything for years. Of course I will be using Xmir, but X won't have anything to mess up with hardware. That's something I like. Waiting for Unity 8...
PS. I have Sandy Bridge laptop so it's a SHAME not to have really working suspend since 2011.

I saw a bug report blaming a race condition between upower and resume (I assume the latter is an X dependent function?). Maybe XMir is only delaying one of them enough to avoid it (because of the extra overhead caused by the extra layer), and thus palliating the effects of such race condition. If that's the case, a slight modification in such code to wait some time should have the same effect.
