Right. So, VT switching does work before suspend.

A blank screen that slowly bleeds white across it. vbetool doesn't seem to help. I will investigate this issue more outside of X. Do you still need anything re: the silicon motion driver? I don't suffer corruption under EXA or XAA and until I have suspend and resume sorted out, I don't think there are any more issues on my system. Thank you!
