External devices may not get fully restored to previous state when you
resume from hibernation.  Simply unplugging your monitor, waiting a few
seconds and replugging it should resolve the issue.

If this problem persists, always disconnect your external monitor before
hibernating your laptop.  Reconnect the display only after your laptop
has fully completed resuming and X11/gnome is fully responsive.
