Sometimes it also helps to run another 'startx' on resume and then
just quit the X server... (not in this case since you have the
problem even without X). 

You don't say what kind of laptop, but you might also try playing with
the acpi_sleep= options. On my thinkpad T42p, I need to pass
'acpi_sleep=s3_bios'. You can find more info on them in: 
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.14/Documentation/power/video.txt

You might find it helpful to use the 'hibernate' script from: 

http://suspend2.net/downloads/all/hibernate-1.12-1.i386.rpm

It comes with a ram.conf config for syspend to ram. 

It also has handy things like a blacklist of kernel modules that need
to be unloaded/reloaded on suspend resume, services that should be
restarted, etc. It can use optionally use vbetool for video
save/restore.
