To enable the apm suspend-to-disk function (Fn+A), you need to prepare a
special partition on your hard disk using a (Windows-only, IIRC) utility
available from Dell. Look for "suspend to disk" in the Dell Knowledge
Base for more information.

I have this set up on my C610 and it suspends and resumes OK, except
that X is frozen on restart. Console mode works fine.
There are a couple of issues I have with the C610 BIOS (that one and the
fact that the fan comes on full-speed after resume), but Dell shows no
interest in supporting APM or Linux on these things for individual
customers (they only ship with ACPI Windows OSs these days). The "frozen
X on STD resume" is in Bugzilla (#64782) in the hope that Red Hat might
have some more leverage than I do. Haven't filed the fan one yet.
