I'm using suspend2-sources (notice the 'suspend2' in my kernel
version), but gentoo-sources should work also.

Everything else is ok.

Not really...it should just work.  If it doesn't, I guess you could
experiment with different resolutions for the console.

Remember that you can choose the console resolution by changing the
video= option passed to the kernel at boot time (e.g.
video=vesafb:1400x1050-32@60), or with the fbres command (part of
splashutils).
