I think so. On my Tecra S1 (ATI mobility 9000 video) is keeps on sending output to the text console, after display at 0 / vgatext has suspended. For my Tecra the console remains usable until it sends the system into S3STR sleep mode via ACPI and removes power from the CPU. And the system's BIOS restores / initializes enough on resume from S3STR sleep so that the console is usable right after waking up. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
