Hi, Just some additional data (I can't believe I forgot to check this before):
The console font is forgotten with a simple "pm-suspend". The console font is not forgotten with "pm-suspend --quirk-radeon-off", even without --quirk-no-chvt. So the no-chvt was a red herring - sorry about that. It seems that for computers that are not otherwise listed, hal turns on quirks including --quirk-vbe-post. All the video state, including the console font was being forgotten. Thus for this computer, it would be enough to add an entry to /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-dell.fdi to fix this. (I've filed bug #531374 for that.) Until that happens, I've added lines disabling quirk.vbe_post, dpms_on, vbestate_restore, vbemode_restore, dpms_suspend, and vga_mode_3 to my /etc/fdi/information/99local-pm-utils-quirks.fdi, and with that change plain "pm-suspend" works for me. For models that do need to reset video hardware on resume, a hook like the one I sent would be helpful. For models not yet listed in /usr/share/hal, the way the default settings get enabled seems problematic to me. It is nice that the defaults in 10freedesktop/99-video-quirk-default.fdi get applied only if no quirks have been explicitly set before then, but it makes it hard for the system administrator or other packages to set quirks later with a file in /etc or /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty. It would be nicer, and easier to understand, if the defaults kicked in only if no settings were applied later, too. One way to achieve this would be to take the logic out of 99-video-quirk-default.fdi and put it into the pm-utils scripts themselves. If this idea sounds reasonable to you, let me know and I'll write a patch.
