I have a report of a Inspiron 500m working with "s2ram -f -a1".
I _guess_ that "s2ram -f -a3" might be even better.

Try it from a minimal boot (init=/bin/bash) and also try the other options
described on http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram

Maybe it works better with additional options to s2ram.
Once you found out the options you need, you can put them into 
/etc/powersave/sleep in the variables
SUSPEND2RAM_FORCE=""
SUSPEND2RAM_ACPI_SLEEP=""
SUSPEND2RAM_VBE_SAVE=""
SUSPEND2RAM_VBE_POST=""

On the s2ram page above there are also links to the powersave configration.

Report back which options helped you :-)
