Sounds like the BIOS APM crud isn't restoring the display stuff
correctly.  

I suspect the cure is to get upgrade your BIOS to a version
that has this APM bug fixed.

Enclosed is an almost silly remedy I've written called
"suspend-x".

It depends on sudo.  If you don't have it, get it.  But, of
course, you could also remove the "sudo prefixes" and use

  su -c suspend-x
