[gpm] Video not restored after s3 suspend on Intel Extreme graphics 2 card

I'm using GPM 2.13.93.

I'm using an IBM Thinkpad R50e which has an Intel Extreme Graphics 2
video card built in. When I try to suspend the laptop with GPM or via
the suspend option on the main gnome menu the system goes into suspend
mode properly, and comes out properly also but my video state is not
restored (i.e - I'm left with a blank screen).

I have had suspend working properly before by using acpid and a little
script
(http://www.john-hunt.com/linux/2005/08/24/suspend-s3-on-ibm-thinkpad-r50e/)
to dump and restore the graphics cards state, however I get the feeling
GPM bypasses any acpid stuff as it's HAL based (I checked the
/var/log/acpid, and GPM left nothing in there).

I have tried the various kernel parameters such as acpi_sleep=s3_bios,
but they tend to make things worse (unable to come out of suspend mode).

I'm thinking possible solutions could be to install the latest CVS of
GPM, or finding a way to get GPM to fire off a script upon suspend.
However, I'm no guru of GPM or HAL/DBUS etc.. so I ask for your help!

Other handy info:
Currently running:
Fedora core 5 stock kernel:
2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 #1 Tue Mar 14 15:48:33 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386

Thanks in advance!
John.
