Laptop will not resume from suspend

I have a month old installation of ArchLinux on an IBM T43 laptop. Whenever I run

 systemctl suspend 

or close the lid, the laptop suspends but refuses to resume. The little 'sleep' light is on, the fan goes quiet, and the screen shuts off. When I hit the power button, I can hear the hard drive spin up, the fan starts, the wifi indicator is blinking, and the backlight of the screen comes on. However, the display is black, and the system is unresponsive. After a reboot, when I run

journalctl -b -1

this is what I see:

Mar 11 17:49:05 archlaptop polkitd[1553]: Registered Authentication Agent for unix-process:6587:219395 (system bus name :1.16 [/usr/bin/pkttyagent --notify-fd 5 --fallback], object path /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale C)

About a month ago when I first began examining this problem, I found something in the ArchWiki about potential issues with suspending older hardware with the latest kernel. However, of course, now I am unable to find that particular entry.

Would that be a possible solution to my resume problem, or could the answer lie elsewhere?

Re: Laptop will not resume from suspend

I had this happen to a Dell 700m. I ended up setting HandleLidSwitch to ignore in /etc/systemd/logind.conf.

Re: Laptop will not resume from suspend

Thanks for the help, but that did not seem to work. I didn't think it would, as it had been commented out originally.

Any more ideas?

Re: Laptop will not resume from suspend

So you went from this

#HandleLidSwitch=ignore

to this

HandleLidSwitch=ignore

and it still didn't work? Maybe try the HandleSuspendKey entry.

Re: Laptop will not resume from suspend

I have tried changing HandleLidSwitch to both suspend and ignore, HandleSyspendKey to both suspend and ignore, and set SuspendKeyIgnoreInhibited to no. I am still unable to suspend.

Re: Laptop will not resume from suspend

can you show the whole log?  I may not be seeing this right but the snippet you show only states it is going to sleep.  There is nothing there about the resume process.

That is the entire log, after the point where I told my system to suspend. There is no resume process.
