I've described my problems with a Sony PCG-GRX570 here before, but in
short, if I run w/ a stripped down kernel, it suspends then almost
resumes.  Something in the display is wedged, if i give it a little
time and type blindly, or pop the power button, it'll almost shutdown
[it hangs, but not until after it's unmounted the filesystems].

Ubuntu linux 5.04 w/ a text console suspends and resumes fine on the
same machine.  X doesn't quite come back to live correctly.
