tty font too large on resume from suspend

[Albert Cardona]

Thinkpad T60p running ubuntu 7.10 dist-upgraded to today 2008-01-30
ATI FireGL graphics card, with fglrx as driver.

As it is know already, suspend is broken (which is tragic). But there is a workaround:

1 - go to a tty and:
   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
 (or simply disable gdm to begin with in the "Services" config window)

2 - sudo modprobe -r fglrx

3 - sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh

So the laptop suspends just fine.

Then, on resume, the tty font is GIGANTIC, and the screen does not refresh properly.
To go back to the desktop, do:

1 - sudo modprobe fglrx
2 - sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
   (or startx, if you have a ~/.xinitrc script as I do)

In this way, detached "screen" sessions remain open, and there's no need to shutdown and start up the laptop which takes forever (over 40 seconds).

The problem is that one has to type such commands (and the password for the first sudo) blindly, for the tty font is gigantic on resume.

The problem no longer exists in 8.04 dist-upgraded to today.
