I installed OpenSUSE 12.2 on this machine as soon as it became final.

Since then, I have booted into SuSE and back into W7, suspended and
resumed on both OSes many times, and have had no problems.

In fact, everything* but the "toys" (ambient light sensor and keyboard
illumination) works perfectly.  (Make sure you configure your trackpad
in "System Settings"!)

By default, KDE plays a little jingle just before it shuts down on
suspend.  This is normally really annoying, but in this case, it is
quite handy, because both Ubuntu and W7 suspend silently, and on this
computer, which is normally silent in use and has no external LEDs,
there is no way to tell whether or not it has suspended, apart from
pinging it from another machine on the LAN.

So, maybe this muddies the waters.  Is the problem solved in the SuSE
kernel, or is it a problem with Ubuntu at a higher level?

* Lid open is not detected; I have to press the power button to get the
machine to resume.  However, I cannot recall any distro *ever* detecting
lid open on any post-APM laptop I have owned, and W7 sometimes fails to,
so I cannot really blame OpenSUSE for this.
