Actually, I have a NVidia GeForce4Go 440 w/64 Megs so the problem might not be related to the video card itself since the IBM ThinkPad A31P uses the same video cards and the problem doesn't exist. How did you manage to even get the machine to resume since I've tried hitting the escape key and even blindly typing but the machine is still suspended with the LCD on as I can't even ping the machine from the network and the only way out is to hold the power button down for 8 seconds and then power back on.
