it works -sometimes- but is buggy, i use it with my i915 video driver and it
hangs sometimes to the point that i need to kill X and restart it, like 2
out of 3 times works well but i dont really like the idea of killing apps
everytime it fails, so most of the time i disable DRI

from the suspend2 howto:

"Particularly common here are issues with USB, DRI/DRM, FireWire, cpufreq,
sound card and network drivers. In the case of DRI/DRM, you can't simply
disable it prior to resuming, so people (unfortunately) have to choose
between 3D performance and the ability to suspend (unless you're willing to
stop X prior to suspending and restart it afterwards)."
