I still have some problems remaining with FC7, someone else?
My hw profile is e121f58f-2418-479e-9683-defc088c2168. This is
Acer Aspire 5610. The last kernel suspend to RAM works is
2.6.21-1.3176.fc7 / 2.6.21-1.3176.fc7PAE. With kernel-2.6.21-1.3180.fc7
suspending works, but when I hit any key the HDD led turns on ferever
and no keyboard input is accepted. The external USB mouse does not
get power (no red light). With older kernels the LED blinks and
turns on for about 2-3 seconds, the display turns on and everything
wakes up (5-6 seconds total). Changelog diff (long live koji):

Current pm-utils is missing /usr/sbin/vbetool, but I installed
the one for fc8 from koji and it works I need 'pm-suspend
--quirk-vbe-post' for suspend to RAM.

pm-tools also ignores /etc/pm/hooks/* (I have to kill iwl3545 to get
suspend to RAM/Disc working).

Alright I got it working again with the old vesa package.....
Fresh install of F7 live cd fails.
Once, X bails 6 times or more and you can login with root (no passwd):
# init 3
Add a mode line of 800x600 to xorg.conf
# vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24

EndSubSection
EndSection
# init 5
Get a terminal
# yum install wget
# wget

What was the reason for adding the sync range hack?
* Wed May 09 2007 Adam Jackson <ajax(a)redhat.com> 1.3.0-6
- Re-add the sync range hack. (#235066)
* Tue Mar 20 2007 Adam Jackson <ajax(a)redhat.com> 1.3.0-5
- vesa-1.3.0-mode-heuristics.patch: If strict intersection of VBE and EDID
modes leaves no modes remaining after validation, try again with just
range and VBE checks. Replaces earlier range-hack and validmode patches.
