	Yeah, if I had the switch state to S3, then it will suspend and
the LCD doesn't turn off.  I don't use X so it's text console.  But when
resumed, the screen has the same screen as what it had before the suspend
and it's not live.

	Never seen that one before.  Mines goes like this:

	Oh okay... Thought someone used that utility since with Windows, I
