Did it just work? Did you have to do ANYTHING to get it to work aside from just enable it? That is all I have done so far.
Suspend-to-Disk worked out of the box, after I enabled it. For suspend to RAM, I had to add the following kernel parameter to the the grub menu.lst: acpi_sleep=s3_bios Otherwise the screen would be garbled after a resume.
I went to yast and enabled both suspend to disk and suspend to ram.
When I go back to my desktop and right click the plug/battery icon, on the context menu is the options for suspending to disk or ram. They both act the same. I will see the dialog box in the middle of my desktop giving my percentage written to ram or disk. Then I will see my screen go blank followed by very bright psychedelic patterns for a split second then power off (if suspend to disk) or suspend (if suspend to ram). Then by hitting the power button again to bring back, I'll see the suse screen, then text mode showine the progress of the reading back to ram, and then it (seems like when it tries to init the video card) reboots again. This time it doesn't see the suspended state/flag/boot sector/grub option/etc. and boots normally causing fsck to run and see the disk messy (I assume from the suspend) and cleans it up. Don't know the exact messages, but they are the same as if you just shut off the machine and not init 6 it properly. I am using the binary video driver for nvidia with the options nvidia NVreg_Mobile=0 option set in modules.conf file.
Have you tried using the "nv" driver instead? It might be the solution, but I am not that familar with the nVidia drivers when it comes to suspending. Also try to post your problem on the suse-laptop list - the guys are quite helpful there.
Are you using the nvidia drivers?
No, the "radeon" driver from Xorg. Using the proprietary ATI driver does not work with suspending at all :(
Any insight you may have from ANY tweak that you needed to do aside from simply enabling it, gotchas, common problems, lack of support for certain things, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
There are a lot of things you could try. I would recommend you first start by reading /usr/share/doc/packages/powersave/README.suspend(2ram) That should get you started. Good luck!
