Change in acpi-support in Dapper - does your machine still boot?

I've just made a change to acpi-support in Dapper - it's in version
0.75. In the past we only saved graphics card state on boot if you'd
explicitly enabled suspend to RAM, but now that that's a per-user
preference this makes less sense. So, instead, on every boot we call
vbetool vbestate save >/var/lib/acpi-support/vbestate
in order to be able to restore it after resume from memory.
Now.
There's a slight chance that this will break on a small number of
machines. If your machine no longer boots after installing this upgrade,
then plese do the following:
1) Boot in recovery mode
2) Edit /etc/default/acpi-support and change
SAVE_VBE_STATE=true
to
SAVE_VBE_STATE=false
3) Reboot. Your system should now boot. Log in and do
sudo dmidecode >/tmp/system_info
4) Mail me (not the list!) the /tmp/system_info file and I'll fix it for
the next package version
Thanks,
