I haven't played with this model, but see if its BIOS has a setting for what
the monitor is supposed to do on suspend. Maybe it's being ordered not to,
or something. I suspect that the server is giving it a bad command in that
regard, however.
It should be pretty easy to have a button on your desk issue
openvt -s -w -- apm -s
That'd be: open an available vt, (-s) switch to it, run "apm -s"
which is of course, asking to suspend the system. As it is (-w) waiting for
the return, but shouldn't see the return until you resume, my theory is this
would bring you back to X right away.
I'm not entirely sure the fresh vt would get dealloc'd, but if it's willing to
reuse the same one, I wouldn't care.
I don't have the problem you describe, so I hadn't thought to whip up something
like this before; let me know if it works for you.
