Hi, I reported a few days ago that the console font was being forgotten on suspend, with a script to work around the problem. Since then, I've learned two exciting things:
The console font is not forgotten with a simple "s2ram -f --radeontool". The console font is not forgotten with "pm-suspend --quirk-radeon-off --quirk-no-chvt". The no-chvt seems to be the key. Armed with this knowledge, I can replace my sleep.d script with a single line in /etc/hal/fdi/information/99local-pm-utils-quirks.fdi. So I am left with two questions: 1) what problems does the chvt quirk work around? and 2) is it necessary to chvt into an unused VT as we do? It would be best to avoid having to chvt at all, but barring that, going to VT1 as s2ram does should avoid this bug. Alternatively, if that is a no-go then adding /dev/tty63 to ACTIVE_CONSOLES in /etc/default/console-setup could be a possible fix.
