I too have a wonderfull Dell c400 and the info in this bug helped me get suspend working. Thanks. However, my config of Ubuntu seems a bit different so the instructions that work for me are listed below. Note that the splash boot option caused the cosole video to core dump in combination with nomodeset so I removed it.
Fix for Ubuntu 9.10:
1a) In /etc/default/grub
add i915.modeset=0 nomodeset to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULTcat. This disables the new kernel mode-setting (KMS):
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nomodeset"
or
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet i915.modeset=0"
1b) Save and run update-grub.
2. In /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/98smart-kernel-video
add return 1 in have have_smart_intel:
have_smart_intel()
{
# Not sure which option cuses blank screen after suspend restore but
# disabling this section works.
return 1
