I am using SSDs, and the computer wakes up fine on keypress, but the
monitor stays stubbornly dark.  What I currently do is Alt-Tab over to
a terminal or fire one up using F1 (mapped in my Openbox config) and
type pkill Xorg.  Then the screen wakes up and shows me the console,
and I restart X and firefox, which asks me if I want to restore 71
tabs :-)
