I recently got one of these netbooks because of the AMD C-50 chip and installed Arch x86-64 (required using the latest version of Archboot, the 2011.02_02 testiso segfaulted during boot and the 2010.05 official doesn't have a new enough kernel for the ethernet or wifi chips). As a side note, AIF forgets to add cryptdevice= lines to grub.cfg if you use luks, that caused some hair pulling until I found the problem.
I'm all up and running on the desktop (Xfce4), but still have 2 major problems to sort out: suspend and sound, but I'll keep this thread just to suspend. (sound works, but not through the headphone jack)
The problem is yet again the "black screen on resume", it suspends fine but won't get back to the desktop. I verified that the system does wake up and the kernel is responsive by logging in through ssh - full functionality. The screen comes on with the backlight, but is just black. I'm using the xf86-video-ati drivers (it's a HD 6250 card), and haven't had any other visual problems with them, except the white screen of death when attempting to run compiz-fusion (so I went back to just the Xfce4.6 built-in compositor).
I looked at uswsusp based on a bunch of old forum posts, but didn't install it because a) it's marked as deprecated, and b) the kernel already wakes up fine. I also checked top when ssh'd in to it after a resume, and no processes were taking any real amount of processor - the xfce4-cpugraph-plugin was sitting in the tray and using 0-1% as expected. That also indicated that X was back up and running, it just wasn't displaying. As expect with ssh working, /var/log/pm-suspend.log shows no problems. "resume" is in the mkinitcpio hooks. I've tried both X and windows-style three finger salutes (really every combination of shift, ctrl, alt, bksp, and del) after the screen comes up black, with no response except the system beep starts sounding after a while.
I haven't tried working on hibernating and have no plans to anytime soon, since I use lvm on luks and the swap partition is in the lvm. I tried once just for kicks, it went first to a sort of sleep where the power LED went orange for a second or two, then back to power-on with a blank screen and tons of HD activity (seemingly saving state to swap), then turned off. Upon power on, it went through the normal power on cycle, the only difference from normal boot was that partitions showed incomplete shutdown and had to restore journals.
Has anyone else run into this, and possibly has a fix?
Edit: Seems I've found other problems with the video driver, switching to virtual consoles just shows a blank screen with no prompt, then switching back to vc7 (X) showed the screen wrapped halfway around horizontally (my left side panel was int the middle, etc). A second set of switching to consoles and back to vc7 just brings up a white screen with some glitches at the top, no cursor or anything. Every time I go back and forth is shows a different type of screen glitch, and eventually it goes back to working. Maybe I'll have to go for the catalyst drivers after all.
Edit Nov 2011: back to non-solved at request of another poster.

After switching to the catalyst drivers, compiz works, but the system still fails to resume from standby.
I did what was suggested this post with extracting the official driver and copying the new files into the /etc/ati/ folder without running the full installer, but that didn't make any difference (the catalyst-hook package in AUR didn't give me a version with the "unsupported hardware" thing in the first place though). What happens now on resume is that the backlight doesn't even try to turn on, but the kernel still wakes up and everything else is working.
Here's the entirety of everything.log from initiating sleep until a few minutes after trying to wake up: (weirdly the timestamp doesn't change between sleeping and waking, though I left it 10-15 seconds in sleep)

I had a similar problem, I haven't tried suspending or hibernating in a while. So I'm not sure if this still works. I got suspend and hibernate to work by adding "noapic" to the kernel parameters in /etc/defaults/grub or to /boot/grub/menu.lst depending on what version of grub your using. I found this in a post on ubuntuforums according to them your supposed to add "noapic noacpi". I tried around and it worked fine with just noapic.

whitethorn: I tried 'noapic' but it made the kernel not recognize my sata hard drive (Momentus XT), so that's a no-go.
I installed uswsusp and tried every possible combination of options for s2ram with the official fglrx driver, to no avail, and even DummyXServer and all that in hibernate-script. So, I went back to the open drivers to run through s2ram with them, as a sort of last ditch effort.
Lo and behold, `s2ram -f -a 1` works perfectly with xf86-video-ati, so I'm back to using that now. Hopefully the problems with it will be fixed in an update eventually (switching to virtual consoles or setting the runlevel back down to 3 blanks the screen, and in the case of going down to init 3 makes it unusable except through ssh, and Compiz throws a white screen of death). Since this is a kernel command to s2ram instead of an entirely userspace one, I could theoretically go back to not using s2ram, but since I have to use OSS for sound right now I'd rather stick to s2ram because it handles the sound shutdown/restart easily.
So, for anyone who finds this thread and has the same problems, I'll detail what I've had to do to get this laptop model working (all with the latest software versions available in the arch repositories and/or AUR as of this posting):
Sound:
Sound card: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [1002:4383] -- Conexant CX 20584
ALSA with conexant drivers works with internal speakers, but does not send to headphone jack
OSSv4 doesn't recognize the card and throws warnings about unknown card, but works through internal speaker and headphone jack. Internal speaker is left channel only, jack sensing doesn't work (no auto-mute), but I sent int-speaker to pcm2 to mute it manually and just use the headphone jack anyway, so it works fine
I haven't done any real tests of audio input yet - ossxmix shows channels for input and all that, but the gnome sound recorder throws errors when I try to record. It's not really important to me, so that's not high on my priority list to figure out.
Video:
Video card: Integrated ATI Radeon™ HD 6250
ATI Proprietary drivers (tested with catalyst-hook and catalyst-utils from AUR): Nearly everything except suspend/resume works perfectly. The kernel resumes fine after a suspend, but the video is blank and eventually throws an "ASIC hang detected" and dumps in kernel.log from fglrx. It requires setting s3_bios on the kernel boot line (or s2ram -a1 or any of the userspace switches) for it to turn the backlight back on at all. When switching to a virtual console, the first console you go to (via ctrl+alt+F[1-6]) will corrupt keyboard input by dropping every other letter or doing other weird things, so login is impossible. Switching from that vc to another with just alt+F[1-6] brings up a console that works perfectly. This may be an Xorg thing though.
Open drivers (xf86-video-ati): Suspends and resumes fine when s3_bios is set on the kernel boot line (or s2ram -a1), but switching from X to a virtual console or going back to runlevel 3 from 5 will show a blank screen with no cursor. If still in init:5, switching back to vc7 with alt+F7 will work 1 out of 5 times or so, with the other times showing nasty video glitches or just a white screen. Compiz dies with a white screen when started with fusion-icon (fglrx driver works with compiz with no config changes), so you'll need to use another wm (xfwm4 works great for me, the only thing I wanted from compiz was the hot corner for showing application windows and it's not that important)
Requires acpi_sleep=s3_bios to be set on the grub kernel boot line for either video driver, or use of uswsusp
Wireless Networking:
Wifi card: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)
brcm80211 module, probably auto-detected by udev but I specified it manually. Everything works, but requires kernel 2.6.37 so that means installing from Archboot instead of the official 2010.05 CD which uses an older kernel.
Wired Ethernet:
Ethernet card: Atheros Communications AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet [1969:2062] (rev c1)
atl1c module, also probably auto-detected by udev but I specified it manually. As with wifi, everything works but requires kernel 2.6.37 or higher, so the 2010.05 install CD doesn't see it (meaning if you boot the official CD, you'll have no networking support at all on this laptop!)
Anything not listed above:
I didn't have to do anything special, it just worked

I am having very similar suspend issues with my Acer Aspire One 720 (ao720)
Have you made any progress getting suspend to work for fglrx?
Offline
Why is the thread marked as "Solved" ? Me and the guy who posted below are having problems with suspend, and the solution explained (acpi_sleep=ac3_bios) doesn't work as expected.
There is also a bug reported at launchpad (it is about the AMD chip e350, but it's from the same Fusion family):

I marked it as solved because it was working for me as of my above post. I'll mark it as non-solved because it doesn't work (last I checked) with the fglrx driver, but if you see my above post I have a netbook that suspends and resumes fine, so that's "solved" in my book. The post before yours also uses a different model netbook, though I don't know the difference in hardware between them.
The broadcom wifi drivers still kernel panic randomly, but that's not a suspend issue.

Thanks for changing the Thread's Name!!
Not very sure about hardware differences, but I believe they're not many... My notebook is Gateway brand, which is part of Acer. And all micros where the problem is observed are AMD Fusion.
