I'm experiencing this same problem. If I suspend either by closing the lid or by choosing suspend from the menu then upon resume the screen will flicker occasionally and eventually will fill with a solid color, usually black. The system remains completely responsive but the screen won't update. Restarting gdm doesn't fix this. Switching between consoles and back doesn't work.
