I had read that but hadn't been successful in a short fit of trying to make it work. Your e-mail inspired me to try again, this time successfully. My previous problem was that the vidcontrol man page didn't communicate to me that the argument to "-s" is the function key number you want, not the device number. The man page also didn't say anything about redirecting standard input, and your use of /dev/ttyv0 didn't make sense to me (why the same device both times?). Thanks to your inspiration and a little mailing list research, vidcontrol -s 1 < /dev/console before hibernation and vidcontrol -s 12 < /dev/console afterward has eliminated the need to unfreeze XFree86 manually.
