If I switched to using s2ram instead of vbetool, I'd have mjg telling me
the same thing with the words switched ;)

Ok, there's a good point here.  I don't think it's quite as dire as you

(for suspend/hibernate) and 99video (for resume/thaw).  That should be
enough to stop this problem in many cases.
