Well, it depends. "Usually", machines that need vga=0 are totally dead on
resume unless vga=0 is given, so i think there is hope :-)

What framebuffer are you using? vesafb or a hardware-specific one?
I assume that you already tried "-f -a 3"? This is usually needed to switch
back to the correct graphics mode on framebuffer-using machines.

If you are using the latest s2ram from CVS, you could also try the (still
undocumented, i know) "s2ram -f -p -m" option, which also does a "save the
video mode before suspend, post the card after resume, then reset the video
mode" like "-a 3" does.

I'm taking suspend-devel into cc, to let the outcome of our research end up
in the archives ;-)
