I think people are going to need more info to help you.
What Mandriva are you using, and are you running KDE, Gnome, etc.?

For a recent MDV, you probably have a power control applet running,
and you should be able to turn off the effect there.

E.g., on the machine I am on right now, running MDV2008.1 and KDE3,
I right-click on the KPowersave applet in the tray, select Configure
Kpowersave, select the General Settings tab, then change the Button
Events for the Sleep button to be null, and click OK.

Pressing the power button should bring you back from a suspend.
