Yes, in openSUSE 10.2 it is some kind of tricky, but works. As Stefan
already pointed out, the powersaved suspend infrastructure is just still
there because we were not sure if we will be able to finish the
redesign.

It's your choice to use suspend2 and thus you should know that
you have to deal with arising issues.

You didn't ask for a generic solution, you just asked how to do the
suspend2 integration into openSUSE 10.2. And I pointed you to one possible
solution, most likely the fastest one ;-)
