This (apparently) happens on quite a few laptops.  There's an easy
solution: use apmd (or powerd) and use a script to switch the
virtual terminal programmatically before suspending, and switch
back on resume. I've attached my little script and vt changer
here, which I've been using for years now.  Someone else posted
another similar program, which you could find in the archives.
