Hi,

I've noticed that the screen only remains blank when I specify vga=xxx
(I normally use vga=791) as a boot option, in other words when using vesafb.

The blank screen on resume after hibernate consistently does not happen
if I boot without it, and I tested with kernels from 2.6.28.

Any idea who can help with this?

Regards,
Niel
