The default options for s2ram (-s -p) don't work correctly on my
system -- when it resumes, I get nothing at all on the text console
and I get a huge mouse cursor that's just a square box of vertical
lines if X (7.1.99) is running.

However, -s -m appears to work correctly (although -s -p -m
doesn't!).  It isn't perfect -- sometimes when it resumes the screen
flickers badly.  On the basis of a few tries, retrying it usually
brings it back to life.

The Radeon 9000 is an unusual configuration for the I8200 -- this
is/was the top of the line graphics for this fine laptop.  Most of
these laptops have nVidia cards based on the geForce 2 or 4.  It may
well be that -s -p is the correct combination for those cards.

BTW, the output of s2ram -i is:

This machine can be identified by:
    sys_vendor   = "Dell Computer Corporation"
    sys_product  = "Inspiron 8200                   "
    sys_version  = ""
    bios_version = "A10"

The output of lspci -vvvvv for the graphics card is:
