Yep.
I am user and I considering suspend/resume to be a basic feature (just like power on/off) with it being the year 2006 and more and more users use laptops.
That's why I said that you may disagree. Heck, I would as well. I was just responding in terms of what graphics card vendors typically think. suspend/resume is an advanced feature for them.
The key is not what developers or companies think but what their users think and expect.
... not the key to companies. The key is where you get money from.
Please note also that even on Windows a laptop with generic drivers will
fail *misserably* on suspend/resume. Only drivers adapted specifically
for that *single* laptop work well. Try updating the graphics driver if
the laptop vendor isn't interested in pushing out drivers...
