More precisely: http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram#Intel_Graphics_Chipsets Machines with Intel graphics chipsets often work with "s2ram -f -a3", even when using vesafb framebuffer. If "s2ram -f -a3" does not work (for example on Dell machines), often "s2ram -f -p -m" works well.
Newer intel Xorg drivers seem to have problems with "-s" (VBE_SAVE), so "-m" (VBE_MODE) should be used if at all possible with them. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229603 . Generally speaking, VBE_MODE is preferable to VBE_SAVE. In my case I still have troubles :-( but -a and -m seems what intel users need.
