[PATCH] vesafb: Drop blank hook
From: Bugzilla Bug 5351 "After resuming from S3 (suspended while in X), the LCD panel stays black . However, the laptop is up again, and I can SSH into it from another machine. I can get the panel working again, when I first direct video output to the CRT output of the laptop, and then back to LCD (done by repeatedly hitting Fn+F5 buttons on the Toshiba, which directs output to either LCD, CRT or TV) None of this ever happened with older kernels." This bug is due to the recently added vesafb_blank() method in vesafb. It works with CRT displays, but has a high incidence of problems in laptop users. Since CRT users don't really get that much benefit from hardware blanking, drop support for this.
