Well, I had a hackish patch disabling the kernel's own VT switch during suspend if the Intel graphics driver was used with KMS. I can dig it up if you want to try that, so let me know. > One more comment: when I disable the VT switching, I end up seeing the > kernel messages during suspend, but they obviously stop at > "suspend_console()".

My experience is that it doesn't really work with KMS drivers. There's one more thing that may be related. Apparently, we've made something recently that's causing lots of problems with boot and poweroff for Asus machines (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/23/54). The Asus BIOSes evidently don't like something we do, but I have no idea what that may be at this point.
