powersaved is a different issue, but the suspend package in SLED10 is not
the latest available.
You can try the suspend rpm from openSUSE 10.2 beta, which _should_ work
on SLED10 also, but i'm not sure about the implications on support, so
use at your own risk :-) It is available from here:
http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/i586/suspend-0.20.20061106-5.i586.rpm

"-p -s" also did not work? strange...
What type of video card does this machine have? ISTR that it has an intel
integrated graphics, for which "-p -m" or "-p -s" are usually the best options
on machines, where "-a X" is not available.

The interesting thing about this is, that we already have this machine listed
in the whitelist:
  /* Dell inspiron 1300, Tim Dijkstra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> */
  { "Dell Inc.", "ME051 *", "", "", 0 },
Which seems to suggest, that this machine did not need any options for Tim.
Did you try a plain "s2ram -f", without any other options?

If the framebuffer is really a problem, it might of course be that Tim just
never tried it with a framebuffer driver.
