For what it's worth, my preference would be for an X-based solution too,
but...

If applications don't work with the framebuffer enabled, then that's
either an application bug or a framebuffer bug. It's worth fixing those
rather than simply avoiding the problem by reducing functionality. As
for ACPI, Hoary development is going to include quite a lot of work on
working suspend/resume. This will include focusing on video issues.
