hp pavillion laptop can't resume from suspend

[David Lam <david k lam1 gmail com>]

Basically, pretty much everything worked out of the box, except that I have a completely blank screen when resuming from sleep....  anyone have any ideas on the steps to take to fix this?

I installed the Fedora 10 Unity re-spin rather recently and my kernel is  2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64

I tried following the discussion here http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=217274  and editing /etc/acpi/events/video.conf,  but I encountered some bizzare behavior after doing that as following a reboot,  my screen would lock up and I would be forced to power off and power back on my computer... ( i think after hitting the +/- brightness keys (?))    ...which then led to me sending an email to the list
