Hi! I just got softwaresuspend2 working and even if I didn't actually *need* it, I emerged vbetool as well. Installation went fine, no problems. Suspend2 seems to work fine with it as well. I just thought I'd let you know in case you're considering to mark that package stable. Btw., I didn't really find many bugs on vbetool and almost all of them are fixed.
I've still got cases where vbetool corrupts my display still, and so I don't consider as stable.
