 Now, if you pass acpi_sleep=something, and it does not work with your
 bios, you'll get hard crash during resume. Be carefull.

+You may have a system where none of above works. At that point you
 either invent another ugly hack that works, or write proper driver for
 your video card (good luck getting docs :-(). Maybe suspending from X
 (proper X, knowing your hardware, not XF68_FBcon) might have better
 chance of working.

+Other well known solutions to get your video back on resume using vbetool.
+Vbetool can execude the real-mode video BIOS extension and use standard
+video BIOS calls to alter the hardware state of your video hardware. There
+are two ways to get video to resume:
+
+* save your current video setting before going to suspend and restore it on
+  resume, like
+	vbetool save > /tmp/.vbe-settings
+	[go to sleep]
+	vbetool restore < /tmp/.vbe-settings
+  On many systems this will bring back your complete video hardware,
+  including backlight on notebook TFTs. This is known to work with many ATI
+  radeon systems and Intel Centrino.
+
+* manually execute the video post method if you BIOS does not do it for you,
+  again vbetool can do this
+	vbetool post
+  This can on some systems already be enough to get your video back.
+
+Warning: The above should only be tested in a safe environment like a single
+user shell since it may be necessary to cold-reset your machine, your
+machine might not resume correctly or simply crash hard.
