Matt,

I removed these packages - but with no differences: suspend seems to
work, but resume does not. When I wake up the machine, I see the bios
and the grub menu again. I don't touch the computer and i boot as I
would expect - but when the old windows or the screensaver should
re-apear I have a scrambled screen: vertical lines (like a bitmap).

Any logfile I could dig into, any config file or any other idea?
