I sucked it up and fully installed Fiesty's daily build. I now have the suspend / hibernate options, just as hoped for.
(One thing I should mention: on the Gnome power management control panel, I don't see the familiar checkbox that says basically, "check here if, when the laptop is unplugged, you prefer power savings over performance.") Suspending and hibernating the laptop via laptop's power button (and then click on the appropriate dialog button) work great. Resuming from suspend seems free of problems (unlike in Edgy). Resuming from hibernate did pretty well, although when I entered my password to unlock the laptop and my desktop came back up, I was still confronted with the shutdown options dialog. (Hitting escape made it go away without any problem.) The real problem I'm getting, as I have with all older versions of Ubuntu, is that when I close my laptop lid, the action I've specified (in this case, suspend) just doesn't get triggered. When I press down the "lid is closed" button with my finger (which the lid would normally press), he backlight goes off as expected, but I can still tell that the display is active and that software continues to run. Is this something you can help me with? It's basically the last barrier to this laptop being perfectly usable.
