Or am I misunderstanding?
No. If you are not using fbcon, then you cannot suspend at all, since you won't be able to resume (the machine will hang with FB). You still need the vbe_post/vbe_save/vbe_mode to get video back after resume if it did not hang. So the flag is more a "can_only_suspend_when_not_using_framebuffer" flag :-) -- Stefan Seyfried QA / R&D Team Mobile Devices | "Any ideas, John?"
