Yep, ps -A shows (after exiting opie) the following running:
/usr/sbin/apm -P /etc/apm/apmd_p (the end goes off the screen)

I suppose I could kill and restart it as part of the Fbvnc script? And
probably also make Vncserver run the scripts too as they don't seem to
get run. How does icewm produce the suspend behaviour, the same way
using your zsuspend script or by directly calling something or other?

Perhaps it would be better for me to use the current apmd and alter your
zsuspend script to use the OZ version. What is the issue with this
anyway, 'apm -s' certainly works fine on my Zaurus (OZ3.2)? I'll have a
look at it tomorrow. Thanks for the pointer.
