Same for me. No problems with 2.4.[345] and also works nicely on
2.6.[123] as long as dri is not running (PM problems).

Only one problem that is not caused by swsusp but is a bit of a head
ache. X will ocationaly crash when changing VT to the console. I
originally thought it was a problem with my dri resume patch for
mach64, but the resume kicks in only when entering X and not when
leaving so its got to be something else.
