On HP Pavilion g6, the screen remains blank after waking from a "suspend" (in the LXDE Logout menu), and a hard reboot is the only way out of the jam. Given that the boot option 'nomodeset' is required for the video to work in the first place on this notebook (the video doesn't work otherwise), is the blank screen after suspend+wake related to the nomodeset option? Is there any way around it?

Thanks in advance for any information/ help.
