Compaq Armada Laptop

[Benjamin Roe]

I actually seem to have got it working with "apm --suspend" now.

The trick was to put a script to change the virtual terminal away from 
the one X was running on with a "chvt 1" in the suspend script and 
change it back with "chvt 7" on resume. It's still a bit funny - the 
terminal I suspended from behaved as if I was holding the Enter key down 
until I pressed a key on resume, but it's worked several times now.
