I edited << /etc/default/acpi-support >> and then used system>preferences>power management to enable suspend with the result that the laptop suspended and unsuspended quite happily. It was a bit slow and I received a black screen with varoius messages, but it did work.
 I am including < /var/log/acpid >> in the event taht these messages and black screen should not have happened.
