Hi Nikias:
Unfortunately when I use various vbetool combination I get screen 
corruption and an unresponsive computer from which I have to do a hard 
reset with power button. That's much worse than no xv!

Which version of vbetool you're using? Did you apply any patch and 
compile the source? If you're using precompiled package, for what 
distro and which version? What kernel are you using?  I gather you're 
using the latest 8.19.10. fglrx. Could you please be so kind to send me 
the acpi suspend/resume scripts? They should be in /etc/acpi/ directory.
Thanks indeed.
