Suspend/resume works for my on an Acer Ferrari with FC6 and an Acer
6465WLMi with FC7. Iirc suspend/resume also works on the 6465 with F8.
If you use the fglrx (ATI proprietary) driver it's my experience that
suspend and/or resume won't work.

Follow the instructions on this page to try to make it work:
