I'm not sure what the combination of vesafb and i915  (both screen
drivers) does. I do know that combinations of these can cause nasty
problems (ATI especially is a problem).
As far as the hotplug stuff goes.  I don't think it should be an
issue, but to try to get suspend to work, starting out with the
smallest number of modules is probably a good idea.

Also, according to Henrique (also on this list and developer of
thinkpad-acpi), loading the smallest number of acpi modules is a good
thing (as in: don't load what you don't specifically need).

Right. I have that one loaded, but I haven't seen the thinkpad keys,
that's why I asked again.
