I thought my suspend was broken on this laptop.  But it turned out it is 
hit by a bug where the driver (nouveau) tries to reload firmwire in its 
resume code while userspace is still frozen.  That fails, but only after 
sitting there looking dead for 60s.  After the timeout, it resumes 
great.  So it might be worth trying.

I don't know about it specifically, but when I use my USB microscope I 
use Camorama.  Notice though it has no UI to select device, you have to 
give a switch --device=/dev/video1 on commandline if it's not the first 
video device.  It also might be worth a try.
