I think I created some confusion (See below) for which I apologise.

The quirks being used currently are:

        --quirk-dpms-on --quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vga-mode3 
--quirk-vbestate-restore

The ".fdi" file I attached to the bug report does not use "dpms-on" but
mentions all the others above.

I'm using the driver "i810_drv" from "xserver-xorg-video-intel"
debian package version 2:2.3.1-1. The graphics device appears to be 855GM.

The hardware details should be in the "lshal" output which I sent to
this bug report. However, if you need anything more please let me
know.

The confusion, I created was as follows.

If I use "pm-suspend" with no arguments then for some reason the
quirks from the "fdi" file are _not_ applied. This is documented on
the web page:

http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-suspend-try.html

At this point I _erroneously_ said that "pm-suspend --quirk-dpms-on"
works. What I meant is that

 pm-suspend --quirk-dpms-on --quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vga-mode3 
--quirk-vbestate-restore

works for me. However, I also need to have these quirks applied
in a particular order.

The (for me) correct order  is the same as the order in which these
quirks are applied by the current "acpi-support" scripts. The order
in which the quirks are applied by the 99video file in "pm-utils" is
different.

I hope this clarifies matters.

Regards,

Kapil.
