lspci says:

Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Grphics Controller
(rev 09)

the driver is xserver-xorg-video-intel


After some more tests, I have to correct the "error description", though.

The following holds with both screen-lockers: xscreensaver and
light-locker:

* hibernation via the eee "sleep-key" (Fn-F1) works:
  the screen is not locked.
  
* locking the screen via the xfce action button works:
  the screen is unlocked via lightdm or xscreensaver dialogue.
  
* closing/opening the lid works when setting "turn off screen" as action.

* closing/opening the lid results in a black screen and locked
  xwindows session when setting "hibernate" as action.
  
  
So it seems rather to be a problem of xfce4-power-manager or its dependencies
in case there is a combination of hibernation and screen-lock.

Thank you for the fast response.
