I think my symptoms are closer to Mrts than Corey's.

Hardware:
Sager NP2090 (aka Compal IFL90) with bios version 1.13
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T7300  @ 2.00GHz
nVidia 8600M GT 512MB
2Gb Ram

I am running Kubuntu 8.04, 32bit version.  I did an alternate install
and use LVM to manage my partitions.  (I've also installed Ubuntu 8.04,
32bit: the problems were the same.)

The suspend problems have happened in Gnome, KDE, KDE4 and in single
user mode.

Symptoms:

1. If I use the nVidia driver packaged with [K]Ubuntu, the machine
always sleeps but sometimes does not resume.  (I typically have "desktop
effects" on.  Maybe this achieves the same effect as having glxgears
running.)

2. If I use the nv driver, the machine always sleeps but NEVER resumes.

3. If I boot in single user mode, the machine sleeps and resumes but the
internal LCD does not turn back on after resume.  I know the OS is still
running because I can issue a shutdown -r to properly reboot the
machine.  Even issuing a manual vbetool dpms on does not turn the LCD
back on.  There is a difference in the ACPI LCD state before and after
resume:

Before
/proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/state
state:     0x1f
query:     0x01

After:
/proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/state
state:     0x1d
query:     0x01

Network activity or lack of network activity has no effect whatsoever on
whether or not the machine sleeps or resume.

Hibernate behaves the same.  In Gutsy everything worked properly.
Because I ran Gutsy for a while with a Hardy kernel and did not
experience any problem then, I think the problem is not with the kernel
itself (and probably not with the nVidia driver either).  Rather, I
think something in userspace is interacting badly with the kernel.  I
have checked vbetools and udev and saw nothing there which was
problematic.

However, and this is **preliminary**, I think that setting:

vm.mmap_min_addr = 0

in /etc/sysctl.conf

I know that there is a line in the default sysctl.conf shipped with
Hardy which sets that parameter to 65536.  This line was not present in
Gutsy but is present in Hardy.  At the moment, I would say that after
changing that parameter to 0, stability with the nVidia driver seems to
have improved (or maybe I'm just really lucky).  I have not tested again
with nv.  Unfortunately, it does not improve the situation in single
user mode: the LCD stays off after resume.  (Maybe there are really
multiple bugs.)
