** Summary changed: - nvidia module has to be whitelisted in order for suspension to ram to function flawlessly + nvidia module has to be put in the Module section of acpi-support in order for suspension to ram to function flawlessly
** Description changed: Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-new - I am using Kubuntu Gutsy on a Dell Inspiron 6400. I have had many problems with suspension to ram (sometimes the machine would reboot instead of resuming, many times the lid button would not issue the suspend command). Today I tried the hibernate scripts out of desperation, seen that nvidia and ipw3945 modules gave problems. So I decided to open the /etc/default/acpi-support file. Whitelisting the ipw3945 module does more harm than good (creates additional problems) but whitelisting the nvidia module does solve all the issues I had. As the driver is closed-source I do not expect than anyone (except maybe guys at Nvidia) can fix the problem, but maybe it would be a good policy to add a little script upon nvidia driver installation which whitelists the module in the acpi-support file. + I am using Kubuntu Gutsy on a Dell Inspiron 6400.
