This is not surprising. S3 is allowed to power off *everything* but
memory, so the state of the video chip is lost. On restore we do a
reset of the video, but we don't know what the state of the chip was
before sleep. X effectively manages the drivers entirely in userland,
so unless X decides to re-initialize the display it is going to be
screwed up.

One thing we can do, though, is use the same protocol that is used
when we switch from a particular vt console back to X to tell the X
server to take control back of the screen.

I think that's handled by the same chip that handles the USB stuff --
we're failing to re-initialize it properly.
