If either or both of these two conditions is FALSE, then suspend to disk/resume SUCCEEDS.
'init 3' kills the X server (level 3 is mutliuser, multinetworking, graphic-less in SuSE, and, I think, this is the same in most modern distros) and, consequently, unloads the 'nvidia' driver. So, the only case resume fails is when 'nvidia' is loaded. So, I have to assume that 'nvidia' is the culprit. If X is not running, how can 'nvidia' be active?
