This is known to some extents, for R50e we have this in the whitelist:
/* R50e needs not yet implemented save_video_pci_state :-(
{ "IBM", "1834*", "", "",
UNSURE },
{ "IBM", "1842*", "", "",
UNSURE },
{ "IBM", "2670*", "", "",
UNSURE },
*/
and your machine probably also falls into the same category.
However, _i_ consider this to be either a driver or a pci-subsystem kernel
bug which really should be solved there.
If somebody really thinks we should work around this in userspace, he has
to either use a custom script and wrap this around "s2ram -f" or send a
patch that implements this cleanly in s2ram. At least this is my opinion
on the matter :-)
