screen blackout after suspense

[Max Derner]

When closing the lid of a hp g-61 laptop and having it auto-suspend on close. Upon opening the laptop, there are no visuals. The mouse is rendered and it changes to a beam or a hand depending on where it is on the screen. This only happens when the lid is closed for a while, going to get a coffee is fine but leaving it over night isn't.
Just to note, I'm running the latest release (12.04) 64-bit. I tried changing the settings too, I changed them so that it doesn't suspend when closed and that seemed to solve the problem for now and it just asks for the password upon opening the lid again.
Sorry if I can't be of any more help.
