Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz-gnome
Well, apparently there are several problems in suspend/resume, or it is one bug which comes up under certain timing or other circumstances ...
Since it took me quite a while to try all of the described workarounds, including the internal graphics unit, switching off one CPU for the suspend / resume cycle, different drivers, explicitly shutting down peripherals, etc. ... I want to share the solution I found:
ATI card with the propietary fglrx driver, compiz / special effects: OFF
Everything else hung the machine on suspend, or a little bit afterwards.
Have fun.

I can confirm the suspend/resume problem on ThinkPad W500 using 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. The system successfully suspends (to disk and to RAM), but resume does not work. On resume, the display always remains dark. Usually, the system seems to hang in this case, but sometimes it still accepts keyboard input and allows for shutdown.
The only way I found to avoid these problems is to turn off compiz. Without compiz, suspend/resume work.
