I set replies to go to debian-laptop. I actually posted one solution to the debian-laptop list this morning. I force the laptop to switch to vt 1 when it suspends. Add the following script to /etc/apm/event.d/01chvt (be sure it's executable):
#!/bin/sh # change to vt1 when suspending to keep X from locking if [ "$1" = suspend ]; then chvt 1 fi Of course after suspending the system comes back up on vt 1, but I can easily switch back to X if it keeps the system from crashing. Does anyone know how to grab Fn-F1 (Setup Menu) or Fn-F3 (Battery status) that switch back to text mode? They also crash if you hit those keys from X, but are fine from a text console. If you find out how do suspend without switching to a text console first, please let us know.
