No matter how I try to suspend, the screen stays black when I try to wake my computer again. I know that it is on because I hear sounds if I tap the volume buttons and I am able to connect over ssh, but the screen stays black. I have tried switching TTYs et.c. but the screen stays black. The Apple logo on the lid isn't lit either. I don't know if this is a bug or just lack of support but I find it really sad because my computer gets way faster when I boot with the 'nomodeset' option. Another problem I have with 'nomodeset' is that I am unable to control screen brightness. I don't know if this is related or not, but I guess it is.
