Find your apmd config file.  The official location is /etc/apmd_proxy 
or /etc/apm/apmd_proxy , but Fedora may have screwed things around.  
This script is called with an argument of "suspend" or "standby" when 
an APM suspend or standby event occurs.  In my Gentoo laptop, 
apmd_proxy runs all the scripts under /etc/apm/event.d/ with an 
argument of "suspend" or "standby" when you do "apm -s".  (NOTE:  when 
you close the lid on an A22p, no APM events are generated AFAICT.  How 
dumb.)

You probably don't have to kill X, just do "chvt 1".  I've never used 
the suspend-to-disk feature on an A22p, but suspend-to-RAM has never 
caused any problems with X for me.
