Hello all,

I recently put Linux Mint on my Panasonic Toughbook CF29, everything works fine, except when I close the lid, and open it again, I get a black screen (as in off). No amount of pressing keys, momentarily pressing the power button, etc, will get it to do anything. I can do ctrl+alt+f2 to get a CLI, and log in, then run startx, but this is cumbersome.

I have power options set to "when I close lid, do nothing". What else should I try?

Also just realized the same thing happens when I suspend it, no way to wake it back up, just a black screen

Looks like others have had this problem with no luck, guess I'll just leave the lid open when it's on. I can put it into hibernate and have no problem resuming from that, just suspend.
