[Solved: kernel 2.6.33] Resuming from suspend -- black screen + cursor
Seemingly randomly (maybe 1 in 3-4 times) coming out of suspend doesn't work. I'll be brought to a black screen with a mouse cursor I can move, but I cannot do anything else. I'm unable to switch to a different console (ctrl+alt + Fx) and I end up having to kill the power. The times it works, it comes right back to GDM, I log in, and I'm good to go.
Here's the only log I know of to help debug the situation (pm-suspend.log):
Initial commandline parameters:

That log was taken after one of the failures btw.

Re: [Solved: kernel 2.6.33] Resuming from suspend -- black screen + cursor
i have the same issue: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=88402
disabling compositing before suspending (and enabling it afterward) fixes the problem for the most part. maybe it's a graphics issue. what graphics card do you have?
check out the pm-utils wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm-utils
try those solutions.
also, take a look at this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=87306

Re: [Solved: kernel 2.6.33] Resuming from suspend -- black screen + cursor
To chime in, I have the same problem with my ATi 3870. The thing I've noticed is that when I manually suspend it from the on screen prompt, it works fine. When I let my computer sit for a half hour, my predefined sleep time, it never resumes correctly. I get the blank screen + cursor error.
I've also noticed that randomly clicking around the center of the screen will log me out and allow me to shut down the computer from GDM.

Re: [Solved: kernel 2.6.33] Resuming from suspend -- black screen + cursor
I have the same issue on a Mobility Radeon 3650 running the latest git kernel and video stack with KMS disabled. It is very annoying. AFAIK, it's not a pm-suspend bug, but rather the result of a bad interactive between gnome-screensaver and X, possibly because of a bug in the radeon driver. Debain bug #565344 has a little more information, as well as a suggested workaround, which I'll reproduce below:
When you come across this situation again, you should be able to blindly log back in by typing your password and pressing enter. After that, you'll be returned to your X session, though you still won't be able to see it. From here, launch a terminal using the keyboard. (The details of this will vary depending on how your desktop environment is configured. Under GNOME, Alt+F1 will bring up the applications menu, and if you're memorized where in the menu the Terminal launcher is, you can use that. If you use GNOME Do, just trigger it, type "terminal", and hit enter. Otherwise, consider binding a keyboard shortcut specifically to launch a terminal.) Now, in the newly opened terminal window, type "DISPLAY=:0 xgamma -gamma 1.0" and press enter. If everything worked correctly, you're display should now be back to normal. If not, well, there's always Alt+SysRq+K to kill the X server.

Re: [Solved: kernel 2.6.33] Resuming from suspend -- black screen + cursor
Hey bcat, I like that solution. Does anyone happen to know what script is run on resume so that I can add "DISPLAY=0 xgamma -gamma 1.0" to it?

Re: [Solved: kernel 2.6.33] Resuming from suspend -- black screen + cursor
This seems to be fixed with the latest Kernel (2.6.33)
