Yes, since the message you are getting says "Device driver usbdev1.2_ep81
lacks bus and class support for being resumed."  And this seems to be in the
area that the kernel you are using addresses "Software Suspend".  Therefore,
nobody is very interested in expending the effort.

Why not ask your vendor then?  They supplied you with a non-Fedora kernel.

You seem very protective of your "vendor".  You won't name them...and you
won't ask them.

Then, why not go to your vendor first?

In your other message you said "Prove to me that these problems don't exist
in the stock Fedora kernel.".  No, you need to prove it.  Just install
current stock Fedora kernel and see if the problem exists.

BTW, nobody is being "hostile".

You also said "And you think my vendor is going to respond to an email from
me at midnight on a Friday night?" as well as "I don't always use the mouse
with this laptop".  So, it doesn't sound like a critical issue and it can
surely wait till Monday.
