This machine is an unconfirmed entry, please follow the instructions on
http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram and find the best options for your machine.
I _guess_ that "-a 3" or "-p -m" would be better. 
The symptoms you are seeing are usually an indication of "VBE_SAVE" and
the new intel X driver not working well together.

On machines which need the intel resolution patch, you need to run that patch
again before switching back to X. If you run s2disk manually, you have to
take care of this by yourself.

Just configure 915resolution via sax2 (after getting the online update that
fixed a bug in sax2 :-) or directly in /etc/sysconfig/videobios and use the
suspend wrappers of HAL/pm-utils (via kpowersave or gnome-power-manager) and
everything should just work.
If it does not, please file a bug report against 10.2
