There is a thread about it on the list. The gist of the (very helpful) replies were: Disable the SMP (if your using Hyperthreading that is) and preempt kernel options. Make sure you have the ACPI option for suspend in the the bios set to S3. The default is S1. I am using a ATI Radeon 9700 pro and was told that suspend might not be possible with this card, that using a Radeon 7000 card might increase my chances of success. I was thinking of picking up a Radeon 7000 (haven't seen any with DVI out) to see if I can get S3 to work that way, but haven't had the time. I might try building a spare machine with one of the new Pentium M desktop boards that are just being released, seeing that I might have beter luck getting S3 to work with a laptop chipset. Ther other plus would be the CPU can be passivley cooled, resulting in a truly silent machine. Oh, how I envy those Mac heads and their sleep function. Good luck, let me know if you have any luck with that board.
