The vesa driver is pretty much the driver-of-last-resort. I would
_not_ expect proper power management support from this.
Try the i810 driver instead, it should have support for intel
integrated graphics.
I'm not all suprised that you'd say that, really. I tried the i810
driver and it wouldn't work. That's why I'm using the vesa driver. I
tried downloading the graphics driver for the video card from intel's
website, there was an rpm and a tarball. The rpm wouldn't install and
the tarball wouldn't compile. I using the drivers in the kernel but
those didn't work either. X just wouldn't start with it. X reports the
video card to be an Intel 915GM/910ML/915MS Graphics Controllor. From
what I've read, the i810 driver is supposed to work with that card, but
apparently it doesn't. Maybe you have some suggestions?
dmesg just says something about 'error -2' and ACPI when I try to remove
and reload the module. I can try it and give you exactly what it says
if you need me to.
Yes. The ACPI messages are probably not important, but if you are
getting an error unloading or reloading the module, then that is a
problem. My initial guess is probably something about firmware....
I would suggest emerging and using the hibernate script
(sys-power/hibernate-script). It allows a great deal of
customization, including restarting services, reloading of modules,
etc in response to suspend-to-ram or suspend-to-disk operations.

I have the hibernate script installed already, but I haven't really
messed with that. I'll check it out and see if I can get something to
work. I've just been mostly concerned about the suspend to ram function
than the hibernate function.
Thanks for the help!
