Okay, good progress at least.

      With the ata_resume.patch that you provided I can get the  
machine to suspend and resume but the video doesn't come back.  
However, the caps and numlock keys are doing their jobs and the  
keyboard works on the console so I can login and shutdown saving  
myself an fsck after the reboot.

Enabling hw.acpi.reset_video causes a hard hang on resume.

I enabled comconsoles to get a better idea of what was going on.
On the console when I resume the bge driver complains about write and  
read time outs. Then initialization fails. Shortly after that the  
keyboard works again. My plan is to cut the bge driver out of the  
kernel and see if that makes things better although I'm not sure what  
to do about the lack of video.
