That command gives you the system Console (man xterm - google
should find it if you haven't installed the xorg manpages). It
seems a totally unnecessary elaboration. I suggest that you try
editing it - I would start by removing the -C and everything after
black. This seems to be something that you alter to suit your
needs, and the default is perhaps set to a contrived example to show
what can be done. Personally, I tried slim after I decided that gdm
was no longer for me, but after a couple of days I went back to
startx.

It's probably a shell script, to invoke your desired method of
suspend (historically, at least two versions of software suspend,
and the choice of s2ram or s2disk). Google for /bin/suspend will
find a few plausible links (/usr/bin, /usr/local/bin) in the first
few pages of its generally irrelevant results.
AFAIK nobody has ever written up how to get any of it working on
LFS. I certainly never managed to get s2ram working when I tried it
on a desktop a few months ago, and it wasn't a priority. Another
reason why my netbook still limps along with 'buntu (/me hates
update-manager)! My previous laptop was a ppc ibook and used an old
package, the name of which I forget, to handle this (x86 suspend is
very different).
