Okay, I should have reported this one ages ago, but my virtual terminals go blank after I resume from a suspend.
Anyone else seeing this?
I get that too. Some video card drivers apparently do not get reinitialized properly. What's your video card? I have an ATi Radeon XPRESS 200M here. Had to use acpi_sleep=s3_bios to even get X Window back after resume.
I'm using the follow:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV41.8 [GeForce Go 6800] (rev a2)
Of course, I realized that after complaining about this I was just going to get shot down since I'm using the nvidia driver.
Sadly, the nv driver doesn't resume, so the virtual-consoles aren't the only things that remains blank on resume. ;-]
Hopefully enough others have seen this (using non-proprietary drivers) that someone will take notice. It sure makes debugging and fixing things hard with X stops responding and you can't see a virt-console.
Arghhh.
