Comment 150 for bug 948053

Regarding suspend/hibernate issues: I have had this problem on various systems. It usually helps to switch to text mode (vt1) before suspend and back to graphics (vt7) after suspend. This can be automated using a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d:
/etc/pm/sleep.d$ cat 00-chvt
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
    suspend|hibernate)
 chvt 1
        ;;
    resume|thaw)
 chvt 7
        ;;
