This reminds me: Are there any plans to use s2ram in Fedora? It manages
a whitelist with Laptops that are known to suspend fine. It also has a
list of Laptops that need certain workarounds like repost-video with the
integrated vbetool after wake-up, switch backlight back on with
radeontool or modify /proc/sys/kernel/acpi_video_flags . Suse 10.1 uses
it and it looks nice, but might needs some improvements (the list for
example doesn't contain details if framebuffer should be better on or
off).

For more details on s2ram see

http://sourceforge.net/projects/suspend
and Documentation/power/video.txt in the kernel tree, e.g. 
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;hb=HEAD;f=Documentation/power/video.txt
