ah yes, this is a great one isn't it?! This had me stumped for a while.
It might a higher number for future driver versions, so always check if
you have the right value for extra_pages_allowances if suspend2 fails
later.

I've never tried suspend to ram, so I don't have much help. Did you try
this with xdm shut down also? You could try the vbetool settings in
common.conf. Also, try with/without combinations of SwitchToTextMode,
userui_program, etc. And I don't know what AcpiVideoS3Bios but it's
worth a try.

As you can tell, I'm stabbing in the dark! If you ultimately get
nowhere, then the suspend2 users list has excellent help from some of
the devs.
