This has been discussed in the "ACPI video driver (for Dell Latitude C640)" thread last August. The symptoms are actually a bit different: The screens stays on on suspend, and goes black on resume. The machine is still live after resume, and can be rebooted by typing blindly. I believe this is a problem with certain ATI cards (mine, on a Latitude C600, for example.)Just curious but does the LCD stay on when the machine suspends since on mines, the last thing displayed will remain there until I hold the power button down to manually shut the machine off and then the power on where it does the fsck's and FreeBSD boots again.
Someone (Mark Santcroos?) was going to fiddle with the ATI driver, but nothing has ever materialized that I'm aware off.
This is *the* key issue that makes -current on these Dell laptops unpleasant, everything else has been working great for months.
