Hi Julian,
I'm running Dapper on an Inspiron 5160, I don't know the differences between the two laptops, but I'm having very similar problems to you with hibernate and suspend. Can I suggest that you edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and add "Option" "NvAGP" "1" to your nvidia section (I'm assuming you have the NVIDIA drivers installed), this resolved the blank screen on resume for me. Note that I am seeing problems with this option in that my machine sometimes freezes with using OpenGL applications (e.g. screen savers). I'm currently trying to get answers from the forums, and I know their is an existing bug raised about hibernating on an Inspiron 5150 which also looks like the problem we are having. Good luck, and see you on the forums. Mark. Quoting Julian Yap <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi all, > > I recently installed Dapper Beta from the install CD.
