Hey Hardik, First of all, I think you only need to worry about your menu.lst and swap partition if your trying to suspend to disk (or suspend to both disk and ram simultaneously), though for all I know powersaved may want everything just so to do anything. If you're only trying to suspend to ram, the problem is likely that the video card is a little groggy as a result of the software procedure for suspending.
I'm not too sure about powersave, but I use acpid which comes with a bunch of scripts in /etc/acpi/ among which is sleep.sh. This script sources a bunch of scripts init-style in /etc/acpi/suspend.d on suspend and similarly from /etc/acpi/resume.d on resume. The trick is that out of the box, running sleep.sh gave me the same behaviour as you describe. It turned out that the scripts were trying too hard to avoid this exact issue and ended up making matters worse. If the switching virtual consoles trick doesn't work for you, this might be what's happening with powersave. It might be posting your display or something silly which breaks the resume. See if you can't customise exactly the steps taken by powersave to suspend, or try using acpid and customising to fit your system. You can also try just the bare bones low level suspend with echo -n mem > /sys/power/state this is the penultimate step for acpid, and actually worked for me just by itself, though without the niceties of tidying up first.

Hi, I am using sidux (based on sid). I changed my /boot/grub/menu.lst to configure suspend/resume and added resume=UUID=<swap-uuid> like this ... The UUID provided belongs to my swap partition which is almost 1GB. After that, I can suspend my computer using powersave -u # -u is for suspend to ram (suspend to disk doesn't work at all, it just hangs while suspending) command, but while resuming, I get only a black screen, I see a lot of activity of my hard-disk and I can hear the fans running, so I think that resume is working, but there is something with the display. Any, ideas ?
