Package: vbetool
Version: 0.5-1
Severity: important
I am trying to use vbetool on my Fujitsu-Siemens A7645 to turn on the
video after a suspend. The graphic card is a SiS M760.
I read that I need to use the parameter
reserve=0xd0000000,0xd4000000 when booting the kernel, because the video
card uses shared memory.
Here is how I reproduce the problem:
1. Boot in single user mode
2. Remove all unused modules
3. 'vbetool vbestate save > /tmp/vbstate'
Output:
Allocated buffer at 0x20000 (base is 0x0)
ES: 0x2000 EBX: 0x0000
4. 'echo mem > /sys/power/state'
5. 'vbetool post'
Output:

EAX is 5F00
Leaving interrup call.

The results is garbage on the screen, although I can see
that the cursor blinks somewhere and that it moves when I type
something. The computer is not frozen and I can reboot.
