_While_ it's taking place???  When you resume, is the video fine?

If so, I'm afraid you just have to put up with it.  By definition, the
system is unable to do anything to maintain your video once you start the
hibernation process - the system is, in essence, already stopped and all
that's still working is the hibernation process itself.  While it might not
be a bad idea to simply turn off the display as soon as it starts to
hibernate, it _is_ possible to get some debugging information if
hibernation fails, so that probably isn't the best solution.
