What did you to that suspend bug? Did you make any changes in xorg.conf perhaps?

If so, you can open a console with Ctrl-alt-F1 after accepting the x failed to load message, login (password will not be visible when typing) and then run sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, to revert your changes to this file. Save is Ctrl-O in nano, and exit is Ctrl-X.
