===========================
You might take a look at your motherboard's CMOS settings; during a cold
start, or a restart, you'll want to tap the key that is designated for
forcing entry into the CMOS configurations (different systems have different
keys for this, <DEL>, <ESC>, <F1>, etc; check your system docs to see what
your key is for this). Once you've entered your CMOS, go to the "Power
Management Features" screen; look to see if you've got an option "Call VGA
BIOS at S3 Resuming." Normally set to "Auto," this may be what's apearing
that the system isn't coming out of sleep mode. Try setting this to
"Enabled," allowing the BIOS to call VGA BIOS to intialize the VGA card (or
circuitry) when the systems wakes up (resumes) from S3 sleep state. Anyway,
this is a virtual nudge that refreshes the video circuitry and can, in many
cases that are similar to your problem, be all it takes to ensure that the
video comes back on letting you get back to work/play ASAP, as it's supposed
to.
Since you're seeing signs of activity that the system is waking up, this
should take care of the problem and help prevent you from inadvertantly
triggering some unwanted action to occur for lack of a video signal!
Good luck and I hope this will have been of some of help.
