Turning OFF this setting is NOT recommended! If in doubt, say Y.

+ ---help---
+ By default, PM will take over the active console (generally, this means
+ switching to the console when suspending from X). This can at times cause
+ problems, especially if userspace suspend scripts try to do things with
+ the console before or after suspending (e.g. calling vbestate).
+
+ To work around this, enable this option so that PM will not handle the
+ console.

+ If unsure, say N.
