Yes. Suppose something else that ran in the meantime installed different microcode, or made other changes to the HW state? >that would be wonderful, as suspend/resume from disc/ram would just work >without any ugly patches. Right. That's exactly how suspend/resume should work. It should be analogous to VT leave/enter. In fact, if you look at xf86PM.c, you'll see that by default LeaveVT gets called on suspend and EnterVT on resume.
