@Patrick So, if you boot with nomodeset kernel parameter you can't wake from suspend? I tried yesterday Sabayon Linux 14.05. They use the binary blob as default when possible, if they can't use binary blob they fallback to X.org radeon driver. The same behavior should be for nouveau and binary nVIDIA blob, but I don't know if nVIDIA is still suppporting your video card on Linux. I think nomodeset+binary AMD blob will fix the problem for most of AMD users. It's just a workaround of course and only an option if you don't mind using proprietary software.
On the other hand, you may try the VESA driver just to see if suspend works and spot the problem. As the guy who reported this bug I'm convinced we due the problem to some X.org driver(s). Are you still with Mint Xfce 13? If so, try booting Sabayon Linux 14.05 on a live session and... well, good luck. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283938 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 blank screen after wakeup from sleep Status in “linux-lts-trusty” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hardware: Samsung Serie 5 AMD notebook (find in attachment the hardware profile). OS: Ubuntu 14.04 (updated today). After wakeup the notebook from the sleep mode, the screen goes blank while the OS and the hardware is awake. (I can also press Ctrl+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot the system). This problem is not happening with the AMD property drivers (but they have another bug, i can't set up the brighness of the monitor). The problem in my opinion is related to this package: xserver-xorg- video-ati. Changing "quiet splash" with "nomodeset" into /etc/default/grub makes the wakeup working, but the pc is really slow (can't be used), also after the normal start up. Best regards and have a good work.
