Ok, this means that the machine does not work from X with the default options
in the whitelist (wich are both VBE_SAVE and VBE_POST).

If you set all 3 (_FORCE, _SAVE, _POST), then it is the same in this case
as if you had set none of those, so this is consistent behaviour.

Please try from text mode (just switch to vt1 with ctrl-alt-f1) if 
"powersave -u" works with _FORCE and _SAVE set, but _POST not. If this
is the case, i will adjust the whitelist entry for this machine.

Yes, this is actually useful information to keep the whitelist current,
thanks for your help.
