This is exactly what I'm seeing on my X61s.  Suspend works, but resume
fails; the screen lights up, and I see a blinking cursr on a text-mode
console, but the machine is totally stuck, and I have to hard
power-cycle the machine to get control back.  It's good to see someone
else is having the same problem; I was beginning to think it was only
me.  :-)

I'll have to try removing the quirk and seeing if it works for me.  I
assume you were able to have any acpi_sleep=s3_bios on the boot
command line, and you've also disabled vbe or post hacks in
/etc/default/acpi-support?

Part of thing that makes this whole hard to debug is there is no
useful information other than a hung resume, and there are so many
knobs that potentially could need tweeaking in order to get things
working, so it becomes an exponential problm in combinatorics.

Thanks, regards,
