And if you don't use an external monitor, you can use the same modeline
two times to switch between them, p.e. with
    Modes       "800x600" "800x600"

I'm using wmapm, but it only show the battery status, and call "apm" to
suspend; I wish to know if anyone have a trick to call "xvidtune" when
resuming from suspend.
