suspend/resume on Lenovo X1 (regression from reports on wiki)

[Adrian Chadd]

(cc jkim)

Hi! Would you mind taking a look at the -acpi list posts with this subject?
It looks like a lot of the video suspend/resume issues on these thinkpads
boil down to the VESA driver code. If it's disabled, (at least) x11 resume
works.

Would you be able to help us track down what's going on?

Thanks!
