[ltp] Thinkpad X40 and fedora 8: display blank after resume

I hope someone can help me with this.

Just installed fedora 8 on my thinkpad x40, intel 855GM graphics chipset.
Suspend works fine, on resume os comes back, but display is blank.
I am able to get the display back by (blindly) typing:

#vbetool post

The cursor comes back a bit messed up, but if I run the following
script everything seems fine.

#chvt 6
#vbetool post
#chvt 6

Putting the above in an acpi event/action script does not help.
thinkpad-acpi is loaded, but the hotkeys do not work (except Fn-F4)
I tried enabling them using 

# echo enable,0xffffffff >/proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey

but no luck.

Any thoughts?

Christos.
