I've had this problem on my T40 under SuSE 8.2, using XFree86-4.3. The
problem seems to be the 3d Radeon drivers. When I don't enable 3d
support (DRI), then I can suspend and resume, but when I try and use the
XFree86 4.3 Radeon DRI drivers, or the Gatos.sf.net ati.2 drivers, or
the dri.sf.net radeon drivers, I have problems resuming -- and with some
drivers I can't even log out of X and start it a second time!

I've had this problem on my T40 under SuSE 8.2, using XFree86-4.3. The problem seems to be the 3d Radeon drivers.

Good idea. I'll try that.

Sometimes, I've had to do this to get it to come back.
Note, my XFree86 version is RedHat 8.0's default,
version 4.2.0-72.
I'm glad I'm using ext3 as when I do have to reboot,
it comes back quickly.
Note, I NEVER had these problems with my Toshiba
720CT nor my Toshiba T8000. Those I would suspend,
take home, unsuspend, use, suspend, take back to work,
repeat.... for months without rebooting....
