+We either have to run video BIOS during early resume, or interpret it
+using vbetool later, or maybe nothing is neccessary on particular
+system because video state is preserved. Unfortunately different
+methods work on different systems, and no known method suits all of
+them.
+
+Userland application called s2ram has been developed; it contains long
+whitelist of systems, and automatically selects working method for a
+given system. It can be downloaded from CVS at
+www.sf.net/projects/suspend . If you get a system that is not in the
+whitelist, please try to find a working solution, and submit whitelist
+entry so that work does not need to be repeated.

+Currently, VBE_SAVE method (6 below) works on most
+systems. Unfortunately, vbetool only runs after userland is resumed,
+so it makes debugging of early resume problems
+hard/impossible. Methods that do not rely on userland are preferable.

 There are a few types of systems where video works after S3 resume:
 
 (1) systems where video state is preserved over S3.

-First, boot into X and run the following script ONCE:
-#!/bin/bash
-statedir=/root/s3/state
-mkdir -p $statedir
-chvt 2
-sleep 1
-vbetool vbestate save >$statedir/vbe

-To suspend and resume properly, call the following script as root:
-#!/bin/bash
-statedir=/root/s3/state
-curcons=`fgconsole`
-fuser /dev/tty$curcons 2>/dev/null|xargs ps -o comm= -p|grep -q X && chvt 2

-echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep

-rckbd restart

-Unless you change your graphics card or other hardware configuration,

-set the fonts on screen.
