I have had success with ACPI suspend / resume to (RAM|DISK) with 2.6.x
on a Thinkpad R50p. I have had some problems with:
(a) USB not working after resume.
(b) Some time after resume, my USB mouse and my E1000 network stop
working at the exact same time.
Obviously (b) is not a problem except where (a) has been resolved. Up
until 2.6.6-rc2 I was using some USB patches, but these appear to have
been already applied to the kernel tree now.
Also, from 2.6.6-rc2 I have been able to:
/etc/init.d/hotplug stop
rmmod e100
modprobe e1000
/etc/init.d/hotplug start
And (b) is fixed. This approach did not work with some earlier kernels.
My laptop has a Radeon Mobility 9700 (FireGL T2) in it which is not
supported by Xfree86 4.3.0, and suspend/resume did not work with the ATI
binary drivers. Until today I have been using Vesa.
Yesterday I downloaded and built X.Org X11R6.7, and I can now use the
"ati" driver, and suspend / resume works with this (to RAM, at least - I
haven't tried suspend to disk yet).
Does anyone know of any Debian packaged version of X.Org R6.7 ?

Andrew.
