[All] Black Screen of Death - Won't resume from standby

[Warren Baird]

There must be multiple causes for it...   I haven't seen a single BSOD in
the week since I turned omnewrotate off by default - just before I turned it
off I was getting 2 or sometimes more a day...

Maybe it's related to certain things happening during the resume phase?  I'm
still using omnewrotate, I've just changed it so that it isn't turned on
automatically when I resume from suspend...
