Hey, I actually had the same problem as the original poster. I have the Dell
Inspiron 6000 as well. I had the ati 8.40.4 driver and I recently upgraded
my kernel from linux-2.6.21-suspend2-r7 to various versions of
linux-2.6.23-tuxonice sources just to try to get it to suspend to ram
properly. Suspend to ram would suspend, but would fail to resume within
Gnome.
There seems to be a problem with the ati 8.40.4 drivers with the newest
linux-2.6.23 and .24 tuxonice-sources, because I have tried almost every
single combination to try to get suspend to ram working correctly.
What I did to solve this was to emerge the newest ati-drivers, which as of
today is 8.455.2-r1. I also installed radeontool and vbetool. I made the
changes in my common.conf and also in my ram.conf in /etc/hibernate to
enable vbetool and radeontool. If you need these files, I'll gladly post
them up.
With the linux-2.6.21-suspend2-r7 kernel, I did not have to use any of those
tools to help me resume but with the linux-2.6.23-tuxonice-sources I did.
I'm currently running linux-2.6.23-tuxonice-r10.

As you can tell, I'm stabbing in the dark! If you ultimately get

the devs.
I'll check that list out too, thanks. It is quite a hassle testing this
though, next time I'm getting one of those vendor supported linux
laptops.
Hence the reason I recommend the suspend2 list, so that I don't make it
more of a hassle for you than it needs to be!
Right now, I hope to get this working, and publish my settings
so others may be saved from the trouble.
good idea. That's what I did with my laptop.
cya,
