I'm occasionally experiencing this problem with my ThinkPad X60s: Trying to suspend fails with the message "stopping tasks timed out after 20 seconds", then it tries to resume, but the display isn't turned on.
I know there's a seperate bug reported about the display not being turned on when resuming, related to s3_bios support, but when suspending succeeds, resuming will work properly as well. Only when it fails to suspend will the display stay turned off. So I believe that fixing suspend will automatically fix resume, at least on my laptop.
