+vbetool uses lrmi in order to run code from the video BIOS. Currently,
+it is able to alter DPMS states, save/restore video card state, and
+attempt to initialize the video card from scratch. It exists primarily
+in order to increase the chances of successfully recovering video state
+after an ACPI S3 suspend.
