Not sure if it helps, but I get the same issue using Ubuntu 12.10 with kernel 3.5.0-14-generic -- I am using this on netbook with the gma500_gfx driver (Dell Mini 12). When resuming from suspend, I also get the black screen with mouse-pointer visible.
What I have found out is that upon resuming, if I wait long enough for the display to be turned off due to inactivity (i.e. the /usr/share /acpi-support/screenblank script is run), then when I move the mouse or press a key to wake the display, everything is working normally again, and the black-screen is no more. This is reproducible. In fact, I can just type in my password when the black screen is there (knowing that there is a password dialog hiding behind that black screen), blank the screen by running "sudo /usr/share /acpi-support/screenblank" and typing my password for sudo, and after the display is turned off (i.e. backlight turns off), when I move the mouse or hit a key, everything is visible again (i.e. no black screen). Does this work for anyone else? By the way, I am not running compiz at all -- just a gnome-classic session with xmonad. So at least in my case, this isn't a compiz issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/966744 Title: [i965] Resume from suspend leaves me with black screen or a screen of the desktop before it suspended.
