I guess this is the usual problem. Basically:

#!/bin/bash
#you must be root to do this, or setuid root.
chvt 1
sync
kill -STOP `pidof X`
apm -s
#It is now in suspend
#Now we have woken up
kill -CONT `pidof X`
sync


You may find that the chvt suffices without the kill -STOP.

Let me know if it helps.
