Best way to get suspend and hibernate to work

I have the latest arch kernel from the core and I just bought my new xps m1530 laptop, i have KDEMOD in that and i am using klaptop for power management.
My system becomes very unstable anf freezes if I use suspend or hibernate.
Is there something I can do to have a stable way to suspend and hibernate? Also I have power management on the LCD to turn off after 3 mins, but it works erratically sometimes it does , other times I see it on all the time.
Is power management part still closed source? Why is there so little development in that aspect?
I am  not blaming, I just want to know.
Thanks

Try pm-utilshttp://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm-utils works for me (Thinkpad R61).
For power management try kpowersave-develhttp://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9554 from AUR.
Important think is to have acpi working, right modules loaded (for me its thinkpad_acpi), so ask uncle Google for your laptop ...
