I am running Sid with KDE 4.x for a while, coming from Mandriva 2009.1.
In Mandriva, I was able to suspend/hibernate easily.
But in Debian Sid, I cannot suspend (nor hibernate but that's another issue).
When I click on K Menu > Leave > Suspend to Ram or the Sleep button from the Battery Monitor, the system goes to sleep (hdd spin down, screen blanks, etc) as expected. But when I hit the Power button to resume, I can't get X working. I can hear the hdd working, and the screen seems a little more bright but there is no KDE. I tried to switch virtual terminals (Ctrl+Alt+FX) but nothing happens.

This bug report might be related to #561877, although the latter is about another Sony laptop model and, what is more, I have already tried the workaround described by Adriano  (disable s3_bios, enable s3_mode) with no success.

I also tried some other pm-suspend options.

I am also attaching pm-suspend.log. I had issued PM_DEBUG=true
pm-suspend, system suspended but not resumed. I had to press and hold
Power button to force a poweroff.

Testing some scenarios.

First, I used this one

PM_DEBUG=true pm-suspend --quirk-dpms-suspend

No success. Screen stayed blank after resume.

Attached the /var/log/pm-suspend.log for this try.

Also  tested this configurarion - again with no success (system hanged
after resume with no screen activity):

PM_DEBUG=true pm-suspend --quirk-vbestate-restore
--quirk-vbemode-restore --quirk-vbe-post

Attached the new pm-suspend.log.
