Dear Michael,

have you tried stopping the X-server before you suspend? Try this script:

#!/bin/bash
echo "About to suspend"
chvt 1
sync
kill -STOP `pidof X`
apm -s	#This is the normal suspend to RAM.
#Time passes...
#Now, we have woken up.
kill -CONT `pidof X`
sync
chvt 7    #This line is often redundant.
#You may need to re-load sound here.


Let me know if it helps,

Richard
