There's actually one workaround: switch to text console. For some reason it
doesn't resume well to the X's graphic mode.

That's about NetworkManager, a tool to conveniently work with wireless and
wired NIC's. May be you didn't install it. Anyway it does nothing to
sleep/resume.

Use acpid daemon to make the script activated by a Fn+F4 hotkey. I can help if
you'd like.

I guess, sometimes newer software brake good old things. Remove old errors,
add new ones...
