It sounds more like suspend to disk usually behaves. Pavel, could this be a harddisk timeout issue? > going to X.

If it is, this is most likely a problem with the X server. Then manually switching back to X (alt-f7) should take equally long like resuming does now. -- Stefan Seyfried | "Please, just tell people QA / R&D Team Mobile Devices | to use KDE."
