Going back to the original bug report I referenced, you see that the bug reporter was running a 2.6.26 kernel and has a 915 hardware. Apparently he still requires the vbe* quirks to successfully suspend and resume. So, is there something within pm-utils that has to be done about this or is this a kernel bug?
