This is on an Inspiron 510m with -CURRENT as of today:

Under X11 with i915.ko loaded, S3 kind of works, but the laptop is
immediately woken up again. Without X11 on the console, the same happens
but the LCD stays off (and cannot be enabled by twiddling with
hw.acpi.video.foo). It seems that with hw.acpi.reset_video=1 the machine
just reboots.

Is there any workaround for the immediate wake up problem? I am happy to
provide any information that might be of help.

Regards,
