Are you using uadmin 3 xx from within the Xorg environment, or from the ascii text console? I think the supported way is to suspend while Xorg is running, because the (nvidia) Xorg video driver is required to save and restore the state of the video hardware. For me, test suspend-to-ram while Xorg is running doesn't work, it crashes Xorg during resume: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=303526&tstart=0 test suspend-to-ram from the ascii console is not supposed to work. It does work for me, iff I never have started Xorg after the boot. That is, when I boot into single user mode, I can use test suspend-to-ram (uadmin 3 22). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
