    Well, I did some experimenting yesterday with the ACPI code on my IBM
    T30 and learned one thing...if you plan on suspending, you need to set
    a sleep delay. Before I set the delay I had some nasty problems
    because power went away immediately and the disk cache did not have a
    chance to flush (ouch!) and left the display where it should not be.

    I noticed that Windows XP has a delay of about 5 seconds. I set the
    sysctl and tried again and things went MUCH better. The suspend didn't
    leave the disk corrupt (whew!) and the display dropped to low
    resolution before the graphics was shut down and switched back on
    resume! My Radeon M7 even retained sync.

    Of course, the USB driver simply does not recover from a suspend on
    ACPI and this should be fixed before too long. Also, the backlight
    stays on making the suspend NVU (not very useful). But it is a huge
    improvement and adding a delay MAY help a lot of other laptop
    suspend/resume areas.

    Whether this will help th I5000 problems, I can't say, but it seems
    like suspend/resume is the most common show-stopper for ACPI on
    laptops, so it's worth a shot. If there is a trend that indicates that
    a short delay in suspending fixes a number of problems, the default
    delay should probably be modified from 0 to 4 or 5.
