Strange. It's working great here (except for the display bug of course, but
from S4 pressing Fn+F8 does get me my text console back).

I have the suspend to disk as the first primary partition, of a size
2 * memory + 64 mb or so (to accomodate for video memory and suspend restore
program).

I'd rather have a working S3 though, it takes about 2 minutes to write
the whole of ram to the s2d partition, so its much faster to just shutdown.

I did read something about another utility to make Dell suspend partitions
though, maybe you should Google a bit on that.
