Bingo!  Obvious work-around found!  That was it!  When I add "nomodeset"
to the grub kernel line, it suspends & resumes just fine.

Thanks!  That saves me from mucking with the suspend configuration
(which now doesn't need mucking with)!

Nope, a key-press worked fine for me.

It did indeed.  Thanks!

Is this still "broken" in F12?  If so, it should be in the release notes
since its obviously also broken in F11....
