A general comment: Laptop hardware and powermanagement isn't simple. 
Most hardware has its own bugs and quirks in this area and need its own 
hacks and workarounds. "Laptop support in F10" is generally fine. IMHO 
it is better than ever. But it might be broken for your hardware. You 
should file a bug report - or try to find an existing one with exactly 
the same problem. Testing on other hardware does not say much.

(FWIW: suspend/resume doesn't work on my workstation with ATI and kernel 
modeset, but with nomodeset it works great, both in text and X -
