thanks for the report that that works -- if you're interested in
turning that into a more permanent (but temporary :-) workaround,
you could add it as a script in /etc/powerd/postresume.d, where
it will be executed as the system resumes.  (search for
"post-resume" in the powerd script for a bit more information.)

perhaps i should have said earlier that we have a good understanding of
where the bug came from -- see http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9779#comment:25 .

the obvious fix is to make the code which fixed the bug for
XO-1.5 only apply to that platform, though it's not immediately
clear why it should harm XO-1.
