Bug 508652

Description of problem:
every few attempts to suspend my eeepc 1000he it does not suspend properly. When I push the s2ram button it will try to suspend but doesn't really do it properly only the screen goes black but the machine is still on power. When I push any key the screen will come back showing the boot messages but no further interaction with the machine is possible. Can't even change vts. I can still login from a remote machine and look at dmesg but everything I tried to get the screen working again failed.

chvt 2                    hangs
killall -9 gdm-binary     doesn't show any effect

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
uname -a
Linux eeepc 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE

How reproducible:
