| I log in and running startx.  i915kms does auto-load.

| 
| It does not use VESA - it's removed from GENERIC on the newcons
| branch.  Suspend and resume generally works on my X220 now, from X or
| console.  There are some outstanding issues, for example the X display
| sometimes ends up corrupted after resume; stopping and restarting X
| fixes that.

Adding
	vidcontrol -s 1 < /dev/ttyv0
to /etc/rc.suspend and
	vidcontrol -s 9 < /dev/ttyv0
to /etc/rc.resume fixed that for me.
