Chances are they just cover up by turning backlight off prior to doing
real suspend and then wait until resume has happened before turning it
on again. We're not doing this yet, since we had our share with
suspend/resume problems in the past and only will do that once it proves
100% solid.

IIRC Garmin had a patch in their Navi sources that removes switching the
VT on suspend/resume, which gave a) a better user experience and b) a
small speedup. We should pick that up IMO.
