That box used in testing is a desktop and x86_64. On a laptop of my wife (it runs currently FC4) I have "suspend to ram" working for a long time. No pm-suspend; just some configuration in /etc/acpi/events/, a helper script and 'acpi_sleep=s3_bios' (apparently required for this box) in boot parameters. I did not fare too well with 'vbetool' if you were thinking about this. But if this suspension/hibernation still works only in some cases then what is the point of putting all that stuff on menus, with no obvious way to remove if unusable, and also with no apparent way to reconfigure actions? BTW - on another laptop, also with FC4, where I tried "suspend to ram" everything worked at the first look very nicely. Even 'acpi_sleep=s3_bios' was not needed. Only, after a rather short of working normally after a wake-up, a mouse in X was getting stuck on the left screen edge and from that moment on you could move it only up and down. The only way to cure that condition AFAICT is to reboot and it never happens if you will not suspend. If this will change in the future remains to be seen.
