I managed to reproduce this bug too, but I didn't even need to suspend
my computer. I just let it on all night long (on main power). When I
woke up, the screen was black and nothing could make it come back.
Pressing the power button shut it down properly (it's configure to shut
down when I press the power button), so I guess it wasn't frozen. Could
it be a bug in XOrg ? Should I file it ?
