I observed the same problem, but only when X was started after apmd, not
the other way around. I also observed that running "strace -p <pid of
apmd>" or "strace -p <pid of X>" makes the kernel go ahead with
suspending.

Can you confirm these observations? What kernel version are you using?

Thanks,
Joachim
