I use Arch Linux, however this information should hold true regardless
of the distribution.

In the kernels <= 2.6.31 suspend would always fail to wake
up/spawn/resume for me. If I was lucky I would get video, but that would
be followed by all applications segfaulting due to I/O Errors.

Suspend works for me with the following software versions:
*Kernel 2.6.32-rc6
*Xorg 7.5
*Xorg server 1.7.1.901
*Nvidia 190.42
*pmutils 1.2.5 

Note: Once the computer suspends (the power led blinks), it takes about
30 seconds for the power supply and fans to poweroff (I believe this is
a BIOS issue and it does not bother me)

There were many times that I would suspend my system and it would not
come back up, no video or anything. The few times I did get X back I
checked dmesg and there were I/O errors. Shortly after even dmesg would
segfault. I ran a fsck on the drive after a hard reboot and the drive
came back clean.

Therefore I do not believe that the issue here is the nvidia drivers. I
may be wrong however, because of how vague the report is. I believe that
Xorg wasn't resuming due to the I/O buffer errors which were probably
segfaulting critical programs that bring the system back to an operating
state. My knowledge on the suspend process is vague, however.

In short, I believe this issue is fixed in upstream, particularly the
kernel.
