In order to do that, it has to be supported by both your receiver and 
motherboard, and there may be some additional configuration you have to 
do.  Serial remotes will only work if they have a separate cable that 
hooks into a WOL header or the motherboard power switch.  They former 
may require some additional BIOS settings.  USB remotes will only work 
if you have 5VSB power supplied to the port, and have enabled wake from 
USB in the BIOS and/or linux.  Supplying standby power to USB may be a 
switch in the BIOS, or it may be a physical jumper you have to move on 
the board itself.

Check out the options on s2ram.  It has multiple routines for 
re-initializing the video output upon resume.  Additionally, I've had to 
issue a 'usb reset' upon resume before I could use USB on one of my boards.
