This is with the X-related packages rebuilt with WITH_NEW_XORG= and WITH_KMS= in /etc/make.conf. > Are you booting directly to X or using startx from the console?

Suspend and resume generally works on my X220 now, from X or console. There are some outstanding issues, for example the X display sometimes ends up corrupted after resume; stopping and restarting X fixes that.
