I have a script that suspends to RAM (I think)... called sleep.sh in /etc/acpi
#####begin#####
#!/bin/sh

rmmod ipw2200
rmmod uhci_hcd
rmmod ehci_hcd

echo mem > /sys/power/state

modprobe uhci_hcd
modprobe ehci_hcd
modprobe ipw2200
#####end#####

make sure there is also a file called sleep in /etc/acpi/events that contains:

#####start#####
# /etc/acpid/events/sleep

event=button[/]sleep
action=/etc/acpi/sleep.sh %e
#####end#####

I have to switch virtual terminals when coming back from suspend to
get my display back on... this is on an Inspiron 8500.
