Whenever I have the issue of the screen not coming out of hibernate when
trying a Xorg configuration I personally have had issues with the color
depth settings - I get rid of all but the one that the screen likes
(usually 16 or 24) and then try again - works. Don't know if that
applies to your issue, just my 2 cents :)
