I believe this hack only works for lid close as reported by akagi above. The recent kernel updates did not fix the problem, but replacing my hack restored the workaround after the updates.

My experience has been that the bug only affects intel graphics on my W500. When I switch the BIOS config to the ATI graphics chip (and the open source ati driver) suspend works fine for me with Maverick and without my pm-suspend hack. Another poster to ubuntuforums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10009357#post10009357) reports that suspend works fine for him with a clean Maverick install using the ATI chip and the fglrx driver.

Glad to hear it's fixed in 2.6.38. Hopefully we can get the relevant fix, whatever it is, pushed out in a released Maverick kernel.
