There's a dedicated mailing list for eeepc, I would also post there:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-eeepc-devel
There is a higher chance to find someone there with that netbook model
who can give you more information on the current status about suspension/
hibernation in that computer with Squeeze.

You can configure the video card so that is not suspended and thus
avoiding the error when resuming. There is more information on how to use
these and other "quirks" at "man pm-suspend".

It seems to be a known issue for this computer, it does not sound very
well :-(

Now you say, in what Ubuntu version worked fine? I ask because the kernel
version could make a difference here.
