I suppose that you are running emacs in a terminal. It's up to the terminal program to restore the screen. Make sure that the TERM variable is set properly. For instance, in xterm you should have TERM=xterm. On a Linux console I have TERM=linux (this might be different in other Linux distributions, depending on the terminal program beeing used). If I set TERM=vt100 the content of the screen is not restored. But doing this is wrong anyway because it's not a vt100 terminal. You can check the value of the variable by typing "echo $TERM" (without the quotes). If the variable is set properly and it doesn't work, either your terminal program doesn't support this feature or the configuration file (termcap or terminfo) is broken.
