[GM45] Karmic resumes from suspend to a black screen

[Paul Jones]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

The kernel update 2.6.31-8 introduced a bug where when KDE resumes from suspend it displays a black screen and the mouse pointer. When you are in this state you can actually unlock the screen and move your mouse pointer around. The cursor changes shapes to indicate when you're over text or a hyperlink. The screen remains black, however. You can switch TTYs and then "pkill kdm" then you are able to log back and things work normally.

I believe that this is related to bug #421736, because I experience those symptoms when using Gnome. These bugs also seem to have been introduced at the same time. As a workaround is there an equivalent way to kill the display manager in KDE, the equivalent of doing "kill -9 compiz.real"?
