Okay, what *other* patches do you have installed? What kernel are you
running? 2.6.15-rc6?

I have seen that before with acpi vgapost or something like
that... Strange. Can you insert printks to find out what is going on?

So... there's no module to blame? I do have CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y set here, but there were some problems with those
before, so keeping it disabled may be wise.

Ouch and now that suspend-to-ram more or less works for you, can you
submit update to Doc*/power/video.txt?

I'm not DSDT expert, sorry. (And problem is probably not in DSDT
anyway).
