I tried to use vbetool to get my text console back with 2.6.24 after a
suspend to RAM. As a result, I got a text working console, but a
crashing X server sometimes after resume, and the only way to get X
back was to reboot.

With 2.6.25-rc, the text console is fine after resume, due to the
recent changes to the Intel i915 DRM driver. Maybe those people who
used to use vbetool prior to 2.6.25 should check if this is still
needed.
