That said, running vbetool from the console after resuming into it with a new
i915 driver shouldn't kill your machine...

Romano, you say this was working for you before with the suspend/resume
enabled i915 driver, right? So something else must have broken?

You can run the upstream DRM modules against 2.6.24 to insulate yourself from
anything in 2.6.25 that might have broken things... That would be a good
data point.
