Maxim,
thank you for your effort in trying to find out the problem, as you reported in the other mailing list. It definitely looks like it's a BIOS bug, not a Linux one. Instead of fixing it with a BIOS upgrade (there were so many since the initial release), the Acer guys wrote a workaround in the Windows drivers so that only Windows users can freely suspend their machines. I think it's an unfair discrimination against non-Windows users.
I agree with you in writing a complain to Acer support. I'll try in the next days to call their tech support to report the problem and get some info about a "collective" complain.

It'd be nice to know if there's any 5720 without this bug...
