I've tried hibernate in the past but frankly don't see the point.
Restarting just gets me a full system reboot, as if I'd done a
shutdown. This isn't what I would expect, but maybe I'm not doing it
right ...
In fact I wasn't doing it right, because it turns out you need to set
up a grub.conf line for this to work. This isn't clear from the man
pages on hibernate/suspend and isn't set up by default in Fedora, but
is not that hard to do. Those interested can Google it.
Having done that, hibernate/restore now works correctly, including the
BT dongle on the extension cable. Why it doesn't work with suspend must
remain a mystery but I no longer care enough to investigate it as it's
almost certainly hardware-related.
