It might very well be, that I'm mixing things up here, that's why I asked for clarification. I don't know, if Debian has any modesetting patches backported, but I doubt it. > > What we're concerned with right now is just if the 915 drm driver in > recent vanilla kernels (2.6.26 and 2.6.27-rc*) is saving and restoring > all the state necessary around a suspend/resume cycle to get the > display up.

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?
