Mickey: Thank you for posting your results after your (probably) time consuming research.
This used to work flawlessly with nouveau and (apparently) never with the blob. I'm using your suggestion now. For now, the nouveau drivers (apparently) suffers from the same issue. But only after I upgraded to a new userspace (not the kernel). https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71116 ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #71116 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71116 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255601 Title: Hibernate not resuming on PC-Chips M811LU Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-173” package in Ubuntu: Expired Status in Suse Linux: New Bug description: I own a PC-Chips M811LU motherboard, at least to what I remember. My problem is the hibernate does not work to anything that I tried on the forums. 1. I hit hibernate pc seems to be saving to the drive Pc turns off. 2. I hit the power button on the tower again. Pc turns on, shows the bios screen, proceeds to do something. The screen remains black and the monitor led remains green for a few seconds. 3. Monitors power button turns from green to orange and blinks (as if went to sleep). 4. Computer continues to run but any button or mouse move does not wake it up. 5. I hit hard reset to reboot pc without hibernate. My graphic card is a Nvidia fx 5200 running the 3d driver. I'm not sure what else I can provide other then it is not working correctly. Let me know and i'll upload it here for you. I tried on all recent releases of ubuntu even the current one running intrepid-ibex. Same with opensuse 10.x and 11.x.
