Suspend with r128 works, but only without DRI.

I run it without dri and use s2ram -f -p -s -a 3, but which options
you need doesn't only depend on the videocard, so fiddle with it till
you have something that works for you. For more info see
http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram

If you want to get it to work with DRI then you need to modify
the r128 driver so that it restores the video state at VT switch.
Either that, or merge the r128 driver with the DDX radeon driver,
which already does that. This is the prefered solution.
