my eee 901 w/ linux (straight ubuntu) suspends & resumes fine. Are you using the stock Xandros? Are you up to date on BIOS and fixes? IIRC, they have a number of BIOS fixes which refer to power.

That was with the original installation. Upgrading the OS seems to have helped. OK, now I have one example of a Linux system where suspend/resume works. But one would have expected that since this is one of the rare cases where the hardware vendor co-operated with the distro maker on a known hardware configuration, suspend/resume would have worked out-of-the box.

My eeepc (1000) suspends and resumes perfectly -- with Ubuntu.

Admittedly, this is using the array.org customised kernel, but even so.

Sadly, my desktop, which uses much older, more standard hardware, doesn't. Oh well, can't win them all..
