Setting hw.acpi.reset_video to 0 fixed this problem on my I8000.  Still have 
problems with S3 not really suspending though and eating just as much battery 
as it would if left on.  It also heats up pretty quick so I think the CPU is 
just spinning on something and since it thinks it is suspended the fans never 
kick in.  I think there are deeper problems with S3 and the Dell laptops.
