Comment 7 for bug 410829

Thanks for the info, it does look like ubuntu recognizes the suspend
key being pressed.
Could you try:
killall gnome-power-manager
gnome-power-manager --verbose

(I could get the --verbose to work that way)
There should be a lot of messages in the terminal at first and more
once you hit the suspend key.

That's interesting that with GPM killed, the screen is blanked - it
may be something in the kernel (or xserver) after all. Let's try the
gnome-power-manager --verbose first and see if that works.
