I'm booting BSD from the XP boot menu, since it's there and it works.

That's good (personally I turned off suspend on lid close since I find
it really annoying and I sometimes use my laptop, with lid closed, as
an mp3 player).

What chipset is it ?

Various people have reported problems with various graphics chipsets
and suspend/resume while in X. One workaround that I've never actually
had to sue is switching to a VT before suspending and switching back
afterwards. I'm sure there's more info in the archives.
