I have been working my way through this useful page. It takes time, and many restarts! It now seems that things like nvidia, B44, Hal recognition, etc, are not to blame, but iwl3945 has to be stopped. I then have to use quirks "dpms-suspend" and "dpms-on" to get suspend to work. However, resume is still strange, because it seem I have to hit keys including Enter, before the screen re-appears. I'm not sure if I am going to end up with anything usable, anyway. Did I mention that it all worked with F6? While we are on the subject, what's the difference between pm-suspend and suspend? Thanks again.
