Great idea, but it doesn't seem to work quite
right on my Mandrake 8.2 laptop.  It DOES get the
USB mouse working after suspend, but it kills my
X session, dropping me to the logon screen after
the suspend, and doesn't save any of my work. 
So, I guess I'll stick with the ol' Ctl-Alt-F1
switch to a console and back solution.  Thanks!
