Boot from Installation CD. In the screen I have the new menu of the CD. Then I press the "suspend button" and after few seconds the system is supended. The power is off (but the power led blinks) and the cd-rom spin down. Then (after some minutes) I press the "suspend button" again. The power is on again, the cd-rom is running again and I'm in the same state in the installation menu (no reboot in any way, I'm totally sure). Then I think "wow, supends is running in the new Ubuntu".

But after the installation process (and after discover a bug in the framebuffer mode) I tested the "suspend button" from de text mode. Nothing happends.

To test the "suspend" facility better I install the Xfce4 and test if the "suspend" mode from the menu works at all, but not. Nothing happends again.

I think that it's not a Xfce4 problem because suspend runs in "installation menu" but not in the system installed and running, with and without Xfce4.

Something is loaded or activated before the new installation menu that makes the "suspend button" works.

I see all the "dmesg" log but nothing. No errors about this feature.

Thanks. I hope that this explains it better.
