Hi guys,
There's been some improvements to ACPI in FreeBSD over the past few
months where suspend & resume kinda works (still rough around the
edges needing manual settings but it works).
There's a couple of articles on the FreeBSD wiki with a list of short
laptops tested, if you're not running FreeBSD on your laptop it's
still possible to test from the live environment on a install CD/USB
image.
If you have a few minutes follow the instructions on
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops with the live environment or if you
have it installed on disk the instructions on
https://wiki.freebsd.org/SuspendResume might be better. Some of the
laptops listed on those wiki articles report issues that are being
reported as fixed btw.

Report your findings to the freebsd-acpi@ list (not sure the list
allows attachments, but it's probably best to avoid trying to post the
ACPI dst to the list)
