Re: Reboot & ACPI suspend Laptop display initialization

[Mike Mohr]

This isn't just a problem with ACPI's suspend.  If I reboot the
machine, without without power management, the screen isn't properly
reinitialized.  The problem with the suspend is certainly an issue
with ACPI; however, the reboot issue probably isn't.  Unless someone
can enlighten me?
