Suspend to disk or to RAM

Having installed SuSE 9.2 I have been trying out suspend (hibernate). The suspend to disk works fine, although I have to make sure no applications are open (or visible on the desktop) as the password box is obscured behind the application windows!

With suspend to RAM, the machine (an NX9005) goes to sleep, but wakes up with a blank screen (so I have no idea what it is doing).

I have found this comment "I had nothing but trouble with suspend-to-ram until I used some extra parameters in GRUB. With IBM's Thinkpads it's best to use the option "acpi_sleep=s3_bios" upon GRUB's start-up." SuSE Linux Forums -> Hibernate on Linux?

Something to try out.
