Hi,
The same here on my 3110. What I understand is that it is a problem of how
X3 stores the state in some (display) registers.
Note that I also have to be 'carefull' with switching from X to console.
However, I haven't seen the 'fading' for quite a while now.

I don't have a fix, but I do have a workaround.
Put this in your /etc/apmd.conf (replace the entries if they are already
there) and you will be able to suspend from X.
(For this to work, you must be able to suspend from the console without
problems, which I do)
# switch to vty 1
apm_event USERSUSPENDREQ {
exec "vidcontrol -s 1 < /dev/console";
exec "sync && sync && sync";
exec "apm -z";
}
# switch to vty 12
# replace the 12 with the vty your X is running on
apm_event NORMRESUME {
exec "vidcontrol -s 12 < /dev/console";
exec "/etc/rc.resume";
}
Hope this helps.
Mark
