[Pm-utils] Problems with 98smart-kernel-video and intel graphics chipsets

[Michael Biebl]

Hi,

I got a bug report against pm-utils-1.1.2.3 [1], where a user complained
 about failing suspend/resume on his DELL X200 (which uses the i915 driver).
Apparently he requires quirk-vbe-post and quirk-vbemode-restore, which
is filtered out by 98smart-kernel-video though.

Can someone with more knowledge about intel hardware and its kernel
modesetting driver please comment on the current status of this driver
with regard to quirk handling and which one should be applied or
filtered out.

As it seems the current logic in 98smart-kernel-video is not
sophisticated enough.


Cheers,
Michael
