The big clue is to run a 2.6 kernel.
IBM has a special kernel patch to allow STR (sleep mode = 3) to
work. I understand that this patch might have been incorporated
into the 2.6.11 kernel. I don't know about Dell. But generally,
even with the 2.6.11 kernel, STR does not work on most machines,
desktops or notebooks. Warren had a little discussion on STR re
IBM T41:

But it still appears to drain quite a bit of juice during suspend.
On most machines (e.g., my HP/Compaq), putting them to sleep is not
the problem, waking them up is. SuSE Pro 9.3 specifically
advertised that it includes the STR feature, while most Fedora
users seem to have given up.
I hardly deal with anything but gentoo
Saturday is always a bad day for me. I was wondering whether you
have done anything to the xorg.conf file? How about the Wi-Fi? Wayne
I'm currently 3k miles away, so Sat is really hard for me.
Wi-Fi: I've only run hostap and madwifi, and both of those work
fine for suspend/resume.
