Hello guys. I installed Arch linux with XFCE4 DE on a HP ProBook 4340s with hybrid graphic card one ATI and one Intel GPU. I've disabled the Discrete ATI because I could not managed to start X with it. I've disabled it in bios and everything works fine except that when I suspend the laptop and then resume it the laptop works for 3-4 minutes and than completely freezes, not just X but everything I'm unable to ssh to the machine.
Any sugestions???

Two things, first of all learn how to use code blocks for better readability. Second, the hardware info is a great start, but what would be much better is any logging output that occurs during the time of these freezes. Otherwise, you are simply asking "Why is computer freezing sometimes around the general time of after a suspend?" which is impossible to answer without simply guessing.

Bookend the time of the suspend failure with this to get the journalctl from the event:
journalctl --since="2013-02-05 12:34:56" --until="2013-02-05 13:34:56"
I laugh, yet the joke is on me

@WonderWoofy: Sorry for bad formatting. I'll post some logs prior the freeze. I really can't see any pattern showing. had the following command in xfce4-terminal running: top; tail -f /var/log/messages; tail -f /var/log/kernel; journalctl -f and can't see a single thing standing out.
@the sad clown: Thanks for the hint, I'll begin testing it with a clock and will post the output.

file /etc/default/grub
string GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet i915.i915_enable_rc6=0″
comand # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
helped me solve the problem

You seem to have posted in the wrong thread.

I'm sorry I do not know English (google trasnslate only). And this is the trouble, I'm crushed. But from the response Xyne I realized that I did something wrong. Really stupid happened. I'm using Arch Linux and bought HP ProBook 4340s, and ran into problems, one of which is described nikonaum, although I use the DWM and not XFCE4 DE. By the way the console problem does not manifest itself, so when setting up the system, I have not seen her. Start search led me here, but I have not found an answer. Therefore, having found the information I hurried here to share. My job is not related to IT technology, so I many do not know. Now I understand that GRUB was unnecessary, because not all it's used, but for me it was a revelation, like RC6. Way to disable this function slightly reduces the robots laptop battery life, but for me it is not as critical as it is impossible to close the lid. I think that this page will help someone understand what he faced. Thank Xyne that corrected me.
P.S. For the response took longer than install and configure Arch Linux. Because of this only today, my day off.

Big Thanks to yasuk68. Almost one full day with lots of suspends and no problems at all. Adding the line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi_backlight=vendor i915.i915_enable_rc6=0"
to the /etc/default/grub file and executing the following:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
solved my problems, and yes with the following parameters to the kernel increased the power consumption according to powertop from 10W to 14.5W but I'm OK with that, the suspend is far more important to me then the extra 30 minutes of battery time. NOTE: At first install around April 2013 I had to put the kernel boot parameter
acpi_backlight=vendor
in order to have a working backlight, after some time and 2-3 kernel updates the parameter was not needed anymore, but adding
i915.i915_enable_rc6=0
to boot the backlight was broken again and had to add acpi_backlight=vendor parameter back again. Now I'm a happy user.
SOLVED (with some minor compromises)
