I got around it by similar hacks to those ones you describe (I've got a Mobility M1, aka a Mach64). However, sometime in the life of XFree 4.1, those hacks became unnecessary, e.g. something in X was now doing the correct thing. I generally only noticed this by accident, when upgrading and forgetting to put back the local hacks ;-) BTW, I upgraded to XFree 4.2 last night, and that too suspends/resumes perfectly out of the box - as well as apparently working perfectly in all other respects so far - great job guys!
