This "function not supported" is actually present on many machines that
seem to support the function pretty well :-) so don't worry about that
message.

Ok, but this has nothing to do with s2ram. s2ram only cares about video
issues, your IDE not returning is a different piece of broken software :-)

Ok, so "-f -p -s" did fix video on resume. "-f -p -m" would be interesting
since "-m" is less "intrusive" than "-s".

There are IDE-ACPI-resume patches floating around, maybe they are in -mm.
There is such stuff in the suse kernel, maybe you can grab a suse kernel-
source rpm, unpack it somehow and try to compile it to test if this works
better?
