I guess this is the case on my system.

I was/am encountering "resume from memory" problems. In approx 1 of 3
cases, the display remained switched off after resume, the harddisk was
spinning and it seemed the keyboard did not work either. This is the
reason why I've set 1 in /sys/power/pm_trace. I was hoping this could
help gathering information (dmsg after resume) to track down the
occasional "resume from memory" problem. I was not aware that the 1
in /sys/power/pm_trace could have side effects ("currupted" bios clock),
so I kept this setting.

Any help or suggestion how to track down the "suspend from memory
sometimes results in black display and keyboard not working problem"
would really be appreciated.

Now, I am trying kernel 2.6.22.4-65.fc7 (w/o pm_trace set to 1).
Unfortunately, with this kernel, pm-suspend and pm-hibernate both
don't work. Suspending freezes after

Suspending console(s)

with the lock lights flashing.

I was not observing this problem with 2.6.22.1-41. I'll try this
one again w/o /sys/power/pm_trace set to 1.

Thanks so far !
