Re: [ACPI] PROBLEM: LCD display dead after ACPI suspend to RAM (S3)

[David Ford]

Try hitting the hardware function key that swaps the CRT/LCD and/or the 
function key that changes the font.

Works on my laptop.  Really annoying two-fold issue.  First, the screen 
is blank, second, I have to blindly run setfont to change the garbage 
font to a readable font.

I'm not running an fb, just an nvidia card in text mode on a Dell 
Inspiron 8200.
