    Problem with waking up from suspend

    Laptop: Dell Precision M6400
    Debian: Lenny stable AMD64

    I installed latest NVIDIA driver (it compiled a kernel)

    It suspends to RAM fine, but when waking up, I get a screen with a blinking cursor for about 1min-1min30s, then X starts.

    How can I fix this ?

    BTW, before I installed the NVIDIA driver, the screen would not get powered on at all after waking up; I had to do hard shutdowns. CTRL+ALT+DEL did not seem to do anything.

    PS: Debian Lenny 64 bit is awesome on this laptop, sound, sound buttons, screen brightness etc all work out of the box (havent tested wireless). NVIDIA driver installed flawlessly. Heck, if I press the calculator button, a calculator pops up :D
    I will post a mini-guide on how to install (very similar to my T42 Debian Etch install guide)

    What kernel version are you using? Did it happen before the new drivers?
