    Yes, Andrew suggested privately thqt screen should come back
    as prior to S3 and Pavel sees the setfont issue as a bug.

    2.6.11-rc4 i810 bugs:

    1) Screen comes back in 25 line mode but scroll remains at
    last set linecount. (also on all other displays tested like
    savage or sis or via.

    2) setfont dies on resume from S3.

    3) A scroll problem in console mode with gentoo portage and
    likely othe apps which scroll lines of random length

    4) With X wo DRM random colored bands flash over the screen
    when running some programs and shellscripts as if it would
    send the data bus instead of video data to the DAC. A
    swsusp2 cycles fixes it until the next S3 cycle.

    5) Then DRM (20050211 snapshot) dies on resume.

    Guess it's time to find an i810 data*** and go digging.

    Otherwise, No issues seen wrt swsusp 2.1.7 on 2.6.11-rc4.

    Good news is that S3 seems to be quite stable also when
    interleaved with swsusp2. There were no failures.

    Lastly, I'd like to see the ACPI alarm function work to do
    stress testing in a loop:

    1) set alarm to current time + xx sec
    2) enter S3 or S4/swsusp2
    3) on resume triggered by alarm continue from step 1.
