Re: [ACPI] PROBLEM: LCD display dead after ACPI suspend to RAM (S3)

Try hitting the hardware function key that swaps the CRT/LCD and/or the
function key that changes the font.

Works on my laptop. Really annoying two-fold issue. First, the screen
is blank, second, I have to blindly run setfont to change the garbage
font to a readable font.

I'm not running an fb, just an nvidia card in text mode on a Dell
Inspiron 8200.
