Suspend has never worked on Acer notebooks for me with any Fedora 
release, or Ubuntu for that matter. I have tried on Aspire 5004 and a 
Travelmate (don't remember the model number).
I have set my notebook to hibernate and that works great. The only 
problem that I know of is that bluetooth service has to be restarted if 
the device was active when hibernated.
