It should Just Work(tm). In fact, it does; from the console and from X both. Kudos, sir - I'm impressed (and just tickled pink, too!) The two "unfixable" bugs of this laptop from the very beginning have been its audio (which refuses to initialize on occasion, and requires *removing the battery* plus a cold boot to cure!) and its inability to suspend; within a couple of days, your work and the advice of others here appear to have fixed the latter. Thank you very much. > Warning: It may look like your screen "melts" for up to two seconds > while suspending.

On suspend, the GUI flips to a message console that scrolls several USB-related lines and shuts off (about 1.5 seconds total.) On resume, there's a 'switch to graphical mode' blink, a flash of that message console, a very short "low-res" flash of the X screen, and it comes back to the normal display (2-2.5 seconds total.) > Suspend and resume should be fast, it takes my machine about 2 seconds > to perform each of them.

That's what I've been using, although I've tried 's2ram -f' at least twice (it appears to work just fine.)
