+
+That's not only about video quirks.
+This one is required to forbid messing with the suspend image in swap by
+rebooting in another kernel:
+/usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/01bootloader
+
+There may be some other useful ones, notifying apps about resume, like:
+/usr/lib64/pm-utils/sleep.d/95packagekit
