You are right. I have the same problem. I don't use APM much, but the fix is to
cycling the screen resolution, after the resume and bad screen appears, by
holding down the Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys (together) and then pressing the blue -
key and then the blue + key (on the embedded knumeric pad). This will decrease
the screen resolution (- key) and the increase it back (+ key) to 1024x768. In
the process the screen seems to get re-initialised so that everything works
normally.
I just verified this on my machine. The screen is restored to normal, but my
mouse is now screwed - this was not the case before I updated to RedHat 5.2. I'm
building a 2.2 kernel now, so maybe that'll help.
Note that this issue was dealt with a few months back - search Deja-News.
