Dell Precision M70 and S3

[Stefan Farfeleder]

Hi,

I'm trying to get S3 working on an Dell Precision M70, for the moment
without X.  I have two problems:

1) This notebook has a serial port which I'd like to use for debugging
my second problem.  However, after resuming it seems to be dead.  If I
restart getty on /dev/ttyd0 I get this error:

  open /dev/ttyd0: Input/output error

Is the combination sio and ACPI suspend/resume generally suppposed to
work?

2) Resuming basically works but the display stays black.  If I write to
hw.acpi.video.*.active or press the CRT/LCD Fn-key the notebook
completely freezes.  If I load acpi_video, I get this:

---
acpi_video0: <ACPI video extension> on vgapci0
found TV/HDTV or Analog-Video Monitor(200), idx#0, port#0, detectable by BIOS, head #0
found VGA CRT or VESA Compatible Analog Monitor(100), idx#0, port#0, detectable by BIOS, head #0
found Internal/Integrated Digital Flat Panel(110), idx#0, port#1, detectable by BIOS, head #0
found VGA CRT or VESA Compatible Analog Monitor(120), idx#0, port#2, detectable by BIOS, head #0
--

And this is the -v kernel output from suspending and resuming in case
that's any help:

You can find the ASL and the boot -v output at
http://people.freebsd.org/~stefanf/dell-m70/ .  I patched the _WAK
method as advised on http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122145 ,
but it makes no difference over the original DSDT.
