Maybe it should but my Fedora on Thinkpad experience is not so good. I have an X31 and suspend has been so spotty over both F10 and F11 that my use pattern has been close all apps before suspend. If it wakes up, great I saved the boot and login time and if it goes FOOM! no data is lost and only a couple of seconds of time. Depending on the kernel of the week the odds of FOOM! have ranged as bad as 100% to as good as 20%.

F12 will go on after it gets a few weeks for the worst of the bugs to get sorted out. Sorry for not being a better test subject but this machine has to work. If the data loss bugs are finally fixed on the HPT374 driver (F8-F11 at least) I'll install at home this weekend.
