Hi Lei Kong,

the problem is that the video card does not pick up.

Switch to console mode before suspending (example ctrl+alt+F1). Or do it with a script as described in the snip below.

[snip]
chvt 1
sleep 1
echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state
vbetool post
chvt 7
[/snip]

Also nice to include 
[snip]
xscreensaver-command -lock
[/snip]
before the suspension, so your computer is always locked after resume.

Regards,
