I'm in the same boat with an Acer Ferrari 4005. Suspend always works.
Resume never. On resume the screen does not even get powered up. The
logs do not contain any useful information. I tried all the pm-* apps
which did not work. Various scripts found with google did neither. I did
notice that neither "radeontool light off" nor "vbetool vbestate save"
would work. Both give an error. Th 4005 has an ATI X700 (PCI Express).
Any chance your laptop is using the same videocard?
