I might finally set up suspend and resume on my own zotac frontend  
box, just for giggles. However... I have a cheap trick to work around  
any problems. The Antec Veris Premiere in my frontend case is actually  
wired up to the power switch header on the board, so the power button  
on my remote can even power the machine on when its completely off, no  
need for usb tricks... :)

The config file is included in the Fedora kernel packages themselves,  
so simply unpacking the corresponding kernel rpm would get you what  
you're after. Of course, that's not the most straight-forward or  
efficient thing to do if you're not running Fedora, but its doable  
(rpm2cpio is your friend)... Can also be obtained from Fedora's source  
control system, though it would require some work to get to the right  
version and generate the config file... Or someone else could just  
post it somewhere.
