Some systems (intel notably) appear to expect you to use the bios save/restore video state not re-POST.
Isn't that what it's there for? In any context other than save/restore I wouldn't think using the BIOS was a good approach. But this is a special case, and if there's a BIOS function which does the right thing, it would seem to be easier to assume that the BIOS works than that the driver can do every operation for a clean restart.
Maybe with new cards it is different but a few years ago, most cards that I tested had problems with those functions.
