Great!

Do you mean suspend to memory or suspend to disk? The former doesn't 
work on most linux installs, as far as i know. The latter is becoming 
more and more widespread. I think you'd have more luck w/ the latter. 
Did resume work for you w/ a generic VESA driver? On my current laptop, 
i haven't even bothered to get software suspend to work yet: it required 
replacing FC kernel w/ a vanilla one.
Btw., are there any popular distros that ship w/ suspend2 or something 
like that?

I'm looking forward to my new laptop. I even read about a Control Panel 
in ATI driver. ;)

Thanks!
