Hrm, this doesn't seem to work for me. I was able to switch to a console
screen after doing that key combo, but my x session still remained unusable.
Upon switching back to the x screen (ctrl-alt-f7) the colour cycling resumes,
just as if I had come off of a suspend. All I can do is either kill the session
or do the ctrl-fn-alt-minus/plus combo and switch back to console and shutdown.
I can't seem to figure out why this doesnt work. Oh well, I guess I'll just
avoid suspending :-(.
