I have the same problem with standby (Fn+F3 or DPMS/APM in X) on a
Thinkpad T41. The computer doesn't freeze, but resuming after standby
under X doesn't unblank the screen. I can usually get around an
accidental standby without rebooting by suspending & resuming, which
usually will restore the display fine. It also seems that if I switch to
a vt before going tinto standby, it will resume just fine.
