Not all aspects of it may be necessary, but the reliance on some aspects
of it is so widespread in the X server that it probably needs to
simulate a VT switch internally at any rate. In fact, there's code to do
that in hw/xfree86/common/xf86PM.c, but it looks like it may be APM
specific.

I don't know of any that wouldn't involve changing X server/driver code.
