Comment 18 for bug 198808

(re: comment no. 14)

For the short term, having these quirk workarounds as part of pm-utils is doable.

Longer term, though, there are two goals to work towards:

1) Make HAL fdi rules flexible enough to deal with things besides system mfgr/make/model when deciding what quirks to apply. At a minimum it should also be able to consider the current video device(s) and the driver(s), as they are arguable more important than the system model (especially if we start caring about desktops with their easily-replaced video cards). This will probably involve replacing the current key matching scheme with something a but more complex.

2) If piece of software requires special handling to operate correctly across a suspend/resume cycle, it should be responsible for providing the hook, not pm-utils.
