I remember someone asking about this about a week ago.  I didn't know
anything about this particular aspect of the problem.  When in X, I just hit
ctrl-alt-F1, then suspend.  When I power-up again, I can get back to X by
pressing Alt-F7.  I know that some people try this and get the color-cycling
problem.  I've never had it.  I'm using RedHat 5.2.

On Tue, 26 Jan 1999, thus spoke Travis Bauer:

Do you have problems suspending under X on you i3.2k? I've done everything I
can
think of, and even the previous advice I got on this list hasn't helped.
Whenever I suspend, my X console goes through this bizarre color cycling
routine and locks. All I can do is switch to a text console and shutdown.

Has anyone tried compiling APM under Kernel 2.2? I did, and the poweroff on
shutdown doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?
