[Pm-utils] i810 driver, on resume, sometimes either locks or blank screen

[John H.]

ah shoot, it worked several times, even several times today, but just
a bit ago, after i had suspended for several minutes and tried to
resume, i got no video on resume:(

the keys seemed to work, though.  it seems to have helped w/lock ups
when i commented out this line

#       /usr/sbin/vbetool vbestate restore < /var/run/vbestate
in resume_video function?
