      <match key="system.hardware.product" prefix="Inspiron">
        <match key="system.hardware.product" contains="5150">
          <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbe_post" type="bool">true</merge>
          <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore"
type="bool">true</merge>
        </match>

Can just change that to work for dell 6400/e1505 inspiron laptop.

lshal | grep system.hardware
  system.hardware.product = 'MM061'  (string)
  system.hardware.serial = '3ZP90B1'  (string)
  system.hardware.uuid = '44454C4C-5A00-1050-8039-B3C04F304231'  (string)
  system.hardware.vendor = 'Dell Inc.'  (string)

So I changed
 /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-dell.fdi

Near end
  <match key="system.hardware.product" contains="8000">
          <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbe_post" type="bool">true</merge>
          <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore" type="bool">true$
        </match>


I added right after that
       <match key="system.hardware.product" contains="MM061">
          <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbe_post" type="bool">true</merge>
          <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore" type="bool">true$
        </match>


and restarted HAL.

However, as the page suggested, I tried
lshal | grep quirk
and that showed nothing.
