FC4, laptop sleep and suspend, and SUSE 9.2

I know everyone is busy getting FC3 out of the door but I noticed on
Seth Vidal's blog some thoughts about FC4

http://blog.sethdot.org/index.cgi/172

and in particular:

        "A concerted effort to make the acpi sleep and suspend functions
        work out-of-the-box on more laptops and desktops."

I have to say that my total failure to get this to work on my Dell
Inspiron 8200 is probably the only major grumble I currently have with
running Linux (any Linux, not just FC) on my laptop.

SUSE are touting major improvements in this area with their just
released 9.2. Has anyone had a chance to test it out? If this isn't just
marketing fluff or hype but actually works is there a chance of
incorporating whatever it is they've done into FC4?

Just curious ...

Best, Darren
