Comment 15 for bug 136453

I had a long explanation queued up but basically the problem (at least as an intel X user) was that a VT switch wasn't happening because various suspend scripts weren't running. According to KeithP on http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-August/027115.html the intel X driver doesn't like being suspended while active (probably a graphics card state restoration thing).
