this works fine for me - completely reliable across
20-50 suspend resume cycles.

i use the vesa framebuffer on both the command line and in X - works
fine except i get a wierd negative image flash occasionally

i use the oss drivers in the kernel 
no problem suspending or resuming
i could not get alsa to work right.

it's not - i cannot get acpi to work but i haven't tried that hard - apm
just works for me.

i'm using the cvs driver and see only a few minor problems.
sometimes i have to unload the driver and reload it to stop a flood of
transmit timeout errors when i'm not in range to a wireless network.
I've noticed that it sometimes hops off my desired network unless i set
the sens parameter lower.

haven't tried this 

in short everything i care about works reliably for me.
