We also need new versions of radeontool and vbetool (and thus the
libx86 library) if pm-utils is going to work correctly.

If we build a new pm-utils and the above tools then video resume
quirks should be handled automatically for F7.

Basically this means that suspend and resume should work for many,
many more laptops out of the box.

Also, please don't clump these tools into one uber pm-utils package
like it was for FC6, as it makes packaging new versions of indervidual
tools difficult.

All the SRPMS are working and available [1], they just need someone to
fast-track these into F7.

Thanks,

Richard.
