I have some more data.

I updated the bios to the most recent available on the sony web site.
Dumping the acpi info (acpidump -d) only showed one non-trivial
difference.  The new bios didn't improve the situation.

I also noticed that the ASL compiler complained about one line in the
ASL, wanting a ByteAcc when the ASL had an AnyAcc.  I fixed that and
installed the new code.  That didn't improve the situation.

I played around in Ubuntu from the live CD and realized that resume
from X doesn't completely work, the screen's screwed and the
keyboard's dead.  But, if you kill the X server and suspend from the
console it works fine.

I've added the ASL from the new bios and a copy of the dmesg output
for Ubuntu booting, suspending, and resuming to the list of info:

Any insights would be welcome.
