My understanding is that you need to also try:
pm-suspend --quirk-xxx
each quirk alone, and then again with each other. This amounts to
hundreds of combinations.
I looked at the existing quirks list, and found a few nb's from the same
manufacturer {or with same chipset/video}, noted and tried those quirks.
After 15 tries, I had not had success.
I wish you better luck. {if not set gnome-power-manager to just turn
backlight off at lid close and suspend activation.
I wonder if a quirk can be written to disable suspend on machines that
are found to be problematic, so that we don't lose information by default.
