Troubleshooting failure to standby/suspend with Ubuntu Netbook Remix on Acer Aspire One

I have an Acer Aspire One netbook, which I'm using with Ubutu Netboox Remix 9.04. With a clean install, suspend seemed to be working fine. However, now that I've installed quite a lot of extra packages and done some configuring (bluetooth dialup, and such), I seem to have lost the suspend functionality.

"Suspend is known not to work with SD cards inserted. Remove SD cards and other peripherals you may have attached before suspend. There's a good explanation on the Gentoo wiki as to why suspend is problematic with an SD card present: SD Cards and Suspend

If the problem persists, check the logs in /var/log, specifically syslog, messages and Xorg.0.log. There's a handy GUI tool to view the system logs that you can use: System > Administration > Log File Viewer (or something similar).

You should also look at the Ubuntu Community documentation on Acer Aspire One here and here."
