It appears that this has been documented a bit in the Linux camp;
I've adapted my suspend_system script, which is exec'ed by the window
manager, to "vidcontrol -s 1" just prior to "apm -z" if the X server
is running.  Then, when the system is comes back from the suspend,
we sleep for a short bit before we "vidcontrol -s" back to the
virtual terminal running the X server.

Now to get working audio (in the kernel) for this ESS1978 chip;
the OSS module works the mixer properly, but produces noise
when data is passed into /dev/audio.
