In my case, the problem was on X. The X-server refusing to start. The 
solution in adding some option to /etc/X11/xorg.conf below the Device 
section like this (I'm using i810 family) :
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Intel Corporation Intel Default Card"
        Driver          "i810"
        BusID           "PCI:0:2:0"
        Option          "VBERestore"    "true" --> added here
EndSection

Then try tour ACPI again, it should works on resuming after suspend now ...
