Fedora on Toshiba Laptop - Hang after closing lid

    Hey guys,

    I'm pretty new to linux OS on a home computer, so I decided to setup fedora on my laptop.

    The only problem I got right now is that after closing the lid and opening it again, I can't get this computer to display anything. I can hear the cooler going, and the power led is on, but I can't even turn it off. The screen is black, nothing is showing up, and when I try to keep the power button pressed for 10 seconds, the DVD unit makes some noise but (like when rebooting) and still no reboot or any sign of coming back from the dead.

    Is this some sort of a bug, or... it's just me?

    Thanks for any help :)

    Vladimir
