Ok, listen to this ;-) I think DPMS might be very related, because when I suspend from X and resume again everything is (almost) fine!! 1. I start up the machine 2. startx 3. I enter S1 either by acpiconf / closing the lid / ctrl-esc (sleep key) 4. Screen goes to console and stays on 5. I resume with power key / open lid 6. Screen turns black 7. Few seconds later X is in front of me again! 8. If I now go back to the console (ctrl-f1) the console is still black I also tried the scenario where I suspend on the console, then resume again, which turns the screen black. I then startx again and my screen is back again. This is a major step IMHO. I already looked at the DPMS code in X and we have to extract that basically.
