Maybe intelfb forces vesafb to do something like reset. I'm not sure, 
but it seems to me that no mater vesafb was compiled or not, it works in 
the same manner.

?? What error? You mean that graphic card doesn't resume.
I think the problem is graphic card which do not resume correctly. The 
one of the solutions could be hard reset of graphic card (is it 
possible?). It seems to me that intelfb module do something like that 
during loading.

I'm not sure if I understand. Did you test my configuration? Did your 
notebook resume for the first cycle?
