Description: vbetool is a dependency of pm-utils only for
Inter cards.
The nvidia binary blob is capable of suspending and resuming on its own. The open source nvidia drivers dont have such capabilities yet. Radeon cards use radeontool http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2751 and Intel cards use vbetool I see no reason for this to be a hardcoded dependency now that theres optdepends. Some additional info: http://packages.debian.org/sid/pm-utils http://gentoo-portage.com/sys-power/pm-utils/Dep#ptabs |

I did not think about this notation on the Gentoo website, but understand that is to say that it is for boards that are not intel.
I did some tests and my notebook (Dell Inspiron 1525 with X3100/965) without vbetool, gave no problem.
Sorry for the English, I used the Google translator. I'm Brazilian.
