I have a related problem. But it is with a ThinkPad T23, S3 graphics. Phoenix BIOS suspend to disk works fine while X is running but only if I have a text console active. And it does not matter if I use the 'savage' or the 'vesa' Xorg driver.
If the X screen is active, the suspend hangs. Any clues, anyone?
