2.6.10-rc3 /proc/acpi/alarm does not wakeup from S3, videomode lost

Tried this on several machines:

# date -d +${x}seconds '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' > /proc/acpi/alarm
# echo "3" > /proc/acpi/sleep

3 <= x <= 100 seconds.

Sleeps alright but alarm is ignored, power switch wakes up. /proc/acpi/alarm readback correct.

When machine awoken by button, textmode console videomode (80x60) is lost seems to be 80x25 and cursor gone and scroll messed up.

Sometimes "evevent-0286: *** Error: No installed handler for fixed event [00000004]" was observed on wakeup from _2nd_ S3.

How to make the alarm function work?

Regards
Michael

Have you tright various options from Documentation/power/video.txt?

Or try just loading new fonts with setfont.
