On the whole it worjed fine for me, except for a BIOS bug that broke
suspending within X. I put a wrapper around zzz to switch VCs away
from X when the machine was suspended which solved the problem. It
should have used `vidcontrol -s` but I wrote it in C due to ignorance.

You might also be able to solve the problem by upgrading the BIOS.

Tony.
