Hi, I got a bug report against pm-utils-1.1.2.3 [1], where a user complained about failing suspend/resume on his DELL X200 (which uses the i915 driver). Apparently he requires quirk-vbe-post and quirk-vbemode-restore, which is filtered out by 98smart-kernel-video though.
Can someone with more knowledge about intel hardware and its kernel modesetting driver please comment on the current status of this driver with regard to quirk handling and which one should be applied or filtered out. As it seems the current logic in 98smart-kernel-video is not sophisticated enough. Cheers, Michael [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=499442

If you're referring to the X driver, it's "intel" driver version 2.3.2 (xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.3.2-2+lenny2). But, I didn't think the X driver was relevant since the same thing happens in a text console. >> 2) The FDI file isn't matching the rules for X200 for my >> laptop.

For a long time I thought *none* of the quirk options worked since I had no indication that they were being ignored, when I was testing with pm-suspend --quirk-.... It was only when exploring the hook directories that I accidentally discovered the 98smart-kernel-video file. At the very least, it would help if this behavior were documented. Thanks, Karl
