Hi Florian, thanks for getting back to this.

Yup, but this two+ year old laptop has worked fine with suspend until I
recently "upgraded". Well, it did need a custom kernel for sarge many
moons back, but that's ancient history - and I don't wish to go there
again.
hibernate isn't installed, although vbetool is, but what I have been
using to circumvent the problem is uswsusp. This package hibernates very
quickly - via s2disk - and restores almost as fast, so it's the best I
currently have.
I'll check out the xhacks idea at the w/e. Thanks.
