Subject: After suspend/resume cycle ASPEED VGA monitor suffers with "No
 Signal" state.

Hello,

An Aspeed VGA monitor, in my case AST 2400, after a suspend/resume 
cycle suffers with a "No Signal" state. This is also true of a 
IPMI/BMC remote console. To restore the "Signal" state requires
a reboot or the following workaround.

To restore the "Signal" state without rebooting issue the
following commands from a SSH session or serial console
after every suspend/resume cycle:

  sudo modprobe -r ast
  sudo modprobe ast
  
This a home media server which is updated infrequently, so
I am unable offer any guidance as to when this issue started 
occurring.

Regards, Cary Garrett
