worksforme. D600 with Pentium M 1700 (Banias). I have to boot with
vga=normal, using any framebuffer prevents resume (it instead boots
immediately to the BIOS, no trace of even a try at resuming.

The backlight stays off until i switch back to X which also restores the
console etc.

kernel is SUSE-2.6.11-rc4-bk9-27-default (works since about four weeks,
IIRC). X version is

strolchi:~ # X -version
X Window System Version 6.8.2
Release Date: 9 February 2005

I do not think that there is a special SUSE-hack in the X modules to get
the video back, but i will investigate this.

AFAICT i do not have to unload any modules, only the uhci-hcd will not
work after resume, but it does not prevent suspend/resume. I always hated
the D600 for the lack of S3 but now i love it ;-)
