(See > kernel/power/console.c) I tried using it on pmac, but it causes hell with XFree. I'm not sure what's up yet, I suspect it may be XFree still doing things after calling the RELDISP ioctl but I'm not completely sure yet. The setup XFree + DRI is working without switching to suspend console (with only the apm_bios emulation for XFree to suspend/restore itself) but not when switching to suspend console right before doing the apm emulation callbacks (which should be ignored by X since it's no longer the frontmost process at this point). For some reason, it seems that after we have switched to the suspend console, we race with the X server on accel engine, and on resume, the X server just crashes.
