Dell Latitude D630 monitor not restored when resuming from suspend to RAM

[Austin Lund]

Binary package hint: hal-info

I am unable to get my monitor to restore when resuming from a suspend to RAM.

The monitor is black as if dpms has turned it off.

I am able to suspend in single user mode. When it returns I can type commands but see nothing as the monitor is black. I've tried typing "vbetool dpms on" after resuming, but that does not wakeup the screen. I've tried numerous variations on the pm-suspend quirks and nothing changes. I've also tried a rc 2.6.32 kernel (as shown in the info here). But this problem was mainly investigated in 2.6.31-15-generic.

I tried doing:

vbetool post

and nothing happens with that either.
