Comment 14 for bug 130979

Noah: your laptop probably does not need vbetool to run on resume at all, this is why I have modified my HAL scripts to fix it for similar laptop (nw8440).

You may want to check this file:
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-hp.fdi

You could try adding ";nw8240" to the same line where you can find "nw8440"
