suspend and resume works fine in Ubuntu too.

What difference in the Fedora kernels could be causing this problem?

I know it seems strange to some, but suspend and resume are one of the most
important features for me on my laptop.  I can (and have) put up with (a
lot) less than optimal video, no sound and even wireless network issues, but
without a functioning suspend and resume it's quite arduous having to wait
for a system to shutdown and reboot.  Each to their own I guess, but I'd
really like this to work and it appears that it does work on other distros
which makes me wonder what Fedora isn't doing right.
