Verified this on both Breezy and Dapper. I've located many reports of the same (for example see http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-76021.html) so it's probably not a fluke on my part.

I suspect that this could be specific to the NVidia Geforce Go 6800 graphics chipset or some other peculiarity with some series of the Inspiron 9300, as I have seen reports of suspend working in Breezy with the ATI-equipped version of the machine (see http://rtr.ca/dell_i9300/breezy.html http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/8736?wlg=yes) but none for the NVidia version. Since I suspected the NVidia graphics chip is part of the problem, I've tried both the restricted binary and the open source X drivers for this chipset, but that has made no difference.
