Systems returns from suspend but display is extremely dim. No way to brighten the display. As soon as it comes out of suspend it has a crash report - not sure what exactly is crashing though. Current method to resolve the issue is to reboot the machine. It is a dell inspiron 1420 with the Nvidia 8400gs card. I have never had problems with suspednin the past - only since the clean install of 9.10. I am using the restricted nvidia driver.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Repawn,

The warning reported here typically indicates that it took longer for your system to resume from suspend than expected. I believe there is a 5 sec barrier which your system likely exceeded. Typically you'll see something similar to "PM: resume devices took 8.664 seconds" in your dmesg output when this happens. A patch to prevent this warning has been applied via bug 464552. As a result I'm marking this as a duplicate to bug 464552. Please continue to track this issue at that report. Thanks!
