This is not a suspend issue at all. Suspend works fine. It is resuming an X session after the screen is locked that is the problem. My laptop is a Dell 640m, with intel 945GM chipset. The bug occurs when the screen is blanked/locked under the following circumstances: Compiz enabled, intel xorg driver (using Peter's tst3 driver above). Compiz enabled, i810 xorg driver. the password prompt to unlock the screen shows up, the keyboard works fine until you unlock the screen. Then I am faced with a blank, backlit screen, with the mouse pointer visible and working. The keyboard is unresponsive. the only key that works for me is the wireless switch function key. Screen brightness does not work. The only method of recovering my computer is to hard reset tthe machine. Attached is the output of lspci -vv, my xorg.conf, and my x log . I wonder if this bug might be related to the gnome screensaver? Thanks for the efforts, Rory On 11/1/07, Aaron Whitehouse
