The problme has been described clearly there -- whenever you close the lid
(and my guess is that the system went to the suspended mode) and open it up
again, the screen was garbled to the extend that even using ctrl-alt-backspce
to kill the server won't help.  Ctrl-alt-F1 cannot get to alternative console
either.  The only way out is to power cycle the system.  (It's using the ATI
Radeon M7 with 32MB video ram.)

The /var/log/messages also shows:

I wonder if anybody has a solution to this?

Thanks in advance and have a good day.
