Quirks needed for Acer TravelMate 660 series

The attached patch is needed for suspend/resume on Acer TravelMate 660 
series notebooks.

I successfully tested X sessions and directly booting into bash using 
vanilla kernel 2.6.25.15 under Ubuntu 8.04.1.

The options "vbe_post" and "vbemode_restore" are the absolute minimum 
that is required. Skipping one of them results in corrupted consoles 
either in X or in bash.
Using "vbestate-restore" instead of "vbemode_restore" fails for consoles 
in X sessions.

The stock Ubuntu 8.04.1 kernel however does not work due to some driver 
issue during resume:

Best regards, Peter.
