I've love to know as well. I'm currently using testing rpm of kernel 
2.6.6-1.383. The same result after resuming from suspend. I lose all 
ability to point using my USB mouse or touchpad. Even an init 3 then 
init 5 doesn't restore them. Only a reboot does. Also, my LCD monitor on 
my Thinkpad T30 doesn't turn off.

My solution was to return to using apm only by added "acpi=off" in the 
kernel parameters in grub.conf, just as Satish Balay has done. I'll 
probably keep testing this as each new testing kernel rpm comes out.
