There seem to be so many caveats,
(a) stop devices before suspending, unload drivers
(b) USB wont be there when you come back
(c) and on and on.

That I have to wonder how useful either of these actually is.

If I were trying to put this on MY machine I would just do the
experiments, but this is for a friends machine that I am setting up, and
I would rather NOT install this stuff at all than give him something that
would cause more grief than
help.

I use suspend extensively (both to ram and to hard disk). I've only
noticed problems with network connections (both LAN and WLAN because
DHCP doesn't re-run on waking up) and sound (though that deals with a
bug in Flash). All other things seem to keep working. My USB mouse
continues to work during suspends. I don't have any specific problems
with drivers, but I don't have any high tech graphics card which appear
to cause more problem (just a generic Intel integrated video card).

Mostly the functionality will all depend upon the hardware within the
computer.

Hope this helps a bit.

I use it from time to time with FC5 on an IBM thinkpad Z60m - works
flawlessly.
