I run 64-bit SuSE 10 and have upgraded the kernel to the "SuSEfied"
2.6.16, dated April 8, 2006.  I also installed the latest and greatest
64-bit nVidia driver, version 1.0-8756 of April 7 (which no longer
requires a patch to work with the newer kernels).  If, as root, I first
run 'init 3' and then 'swsusp', it resumes perfectly.  If I run the 'nv'
generic driver instead of 'nvidia', I can run 'swsusp' and resume
perfectly *without* running 'init 3'.  After it resumes and displays the
(re)loading steps, the display blanks out if I suspend with the 'nvidia'
driver from init 5 (without first running 'init 3').

Therefore, at least on 64 bits, even the newest nVidia driver does not
fix the problem.
