	My machine just completely freezes up.  One time, I was actually able
to switch consoles and type something before it froze up, but I think I was
just lucky that time, every other time I've sent it to sleep, it completely
froze (no network, no console).

	Yes, I'm using pcvt.  The strange thing is that I *can* use xdm if I
start it later.  I didn't investigate this enough (didn't want to freak out my
machine too much).

	My sound driver was broken at first, but it was my fault.  I'm not a PC
user, so I wasn't ready for all the IRQ problems and stuff.  I simply had the
sound driver watching the wrong IRQ, as a friend pointed out to me, and when I
changed it to the right one, it worked fine.
