Hi all,  here is Ottorino from Florence, Italy.
I own a Z60t on which I recently installed Debian lenny kernel 2.6.22-3-686.
I have the same problem with suspend/hibernate.
Pressing the blue keys Fn+moon the computer hibernate
Pressing the same keys again the computer comes back to life, but appparently it is not able to switch on the neon lamps within the monitor.
In fact I can (hardly) see the shades of icons and windows on the desktop.
I tried to find out where the hibernate.conf is, but unsuccessfully.
Could you please give me a hint on where to find informations on how to solve this problem (and learn something in the meanwhile ?)

Thanks for the hint, finially, I managed to make non-X resume
works. But, still no luck with X resume.  UseDummyXServer,
VbePost and SwitchToText does not help.

If I remove kdm from /etc/rc2.d, then after resuming, I can start kde,
no problem at all. However, once X was running, future attempt to
restart X after resuming will  fail, no matter whether I stop X or not
before suspending to ram.
