Assume BIOS = just enough to appear to work with Windows. My VAIO appears to lose at least the spindown timeout setting, probably more on suspend. It also loses some video state - if I suspend when the screen is blanked by X, restore gets me a white screen of death - no way to make video come back to life. Now that I've got hibernate working, I've figured out that I can hibernate/unhibernate to get the card back into the state X thinks it should be in.
