I get freezes from mplayer sometimes. I can't yet track down what it
is. no kb, no mouse, nada. I think its a freeze,
not just a UI lock. Interestingly, the fn+<F-key> tasks to blank screen
still works, but suspend/resume keys don't.

I still can't resume X from console mode (ie run X twice without
reboot inbetween), it locks hard. I wish I knew a way to prevent that.
recover from a zzz/sleep is fine, its only when I drop out of X to
console mode it refuses to resume into X.
