'acpiconf -s 1' works. Resume is _much_ faster. That only leaves me with a couple of acpi boot errors to clean up (they do not affect anything AFAIK) and to set rc.resume to restore the network connection. I have some glitches that were also present (or worse) using apm. I would assume all this works much better on newer hardware.
