Can you try what Dexter did? or you can go from graphical desktop to
console and back. It worked for me.

Atrl-alt-F1 then ctrl-alt-f7

For that, you might want to run a script that actually does that for
you.

Something like


                        system ('/usr/X11R6/bin/xset -display :0 dpms force off');
                        system ('rmmod tg3');
                        system ('rmmod usb_storage hid uhci_hcd ehci_hcd');
                        system ('echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep && hwclock --hctosys');
                        system ('echo "Resuming proceses....');
                        system ('modprobe tg3');
                        system ('modprobe usb_storage');
                        system ('modprobe ehci_hcd');
                        system ('modprobe uhci_hcd');
                	system ('modprobe hid');
