Executing the above command works fine (no errors): Laptop goes
into suspend mode and and be resurrected by pressing Fn.

Thank you for your help so far Jaime.

So suspending works fine (from the GnomeSystem->Quit menu as well
as Fn-F4 alias sleepbtn.sh).

What doesn't work is Fn-F12 (does that correspond to the function
hibernatebtn.sh?). The computer hibernates but when starting it
again the screen stays black after passing the GRUB stage.

For completeness, here's the content of hibernatebtn.sh:

,----[ hibernatebtn.sh ]
| #!/bin/bash
| . /usr/share/acpi-support/key-constants
| acpi_fakekey $KEY_SUSPEND 
`----

Regards 

Patrick
