I get same issue with hibernate, it does work but not very efficiently
and i get the vertical brown lines. My suspend didnt work but works
since I changed the sleep.sh code. The suspend works great now.
Try this:-

Add the VBE parameter to "xorg.conf", under the device section,
xorg.conf can be found at directory /etc/X11

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated
Graphics Device" Driver		"i810"
	BusID		"PCI:0:2:0"
	Option   "VBERestore"  "true" #ADD THIS OPTION!!!
EndSection

Now change the code of the sleep.sh, you should make a back up first to
keep original file. 

Copy file

cd /etc/acpi
sudo cp sleep.sh sleep_backup.sh

Edit file sleep.sh

sudo gedit /etc/acpi/sleep.sh

now delete code you see and replace with this code below:-

#!/bin/bash

/bin/sync

/sbin/rmmod uhci-hcd
/sbin/rmmod ehci-hcd

/usr/bin/chvt 1

cat /proc/bus/pci/00/02.0 > /var/cache/video.config

echo -n mem > /sys/power/state

cat /var/cache/video.config > /proc/bus/pci/00/02.0

rm -rf /var/cache/video.config

/usr/bin/chvt 7

/sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd
/sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd 

Save and exit of course. 

Hopefully your suspend will work now...;-)
