More information, in case it helps:
1. A recent update included libhal1_0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu8.2 , replacing
libhal1_0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu8.1.
Now at least hibernate starts...
2. I'm more familiar with Fedora - there are probably debian / ubuntu ways of
doing these.
I've got an nVidia Geforce 2Go graphics card with 32MB ram.
$ dpkg -l '*nvidia*'
gives
nvidia-glx 1:96.43.05+2.6.24.13-19.45 NVIDIA binary
XFree86 4.x/X.Org driver

In fedora I disabled it with the "agp=off" karnel parameter.
Here's my full kernel line in /etc/grub/menu.lst
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=6d6b2de2-f28f-
48ac-ada3-1b03af84b628 ro splash vga=791 scheduler=cfq nolapic agp=off
3. I also added intel_agp agpgart bluetooth to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
but
$ grep agp /var/log/messages
yields
Kernel command line: root=UUID=6d6b2de2-f28f-48ac-ada3-1b03af84b628 ro splash
vga=791 sched
uler=cfq nolapic agp=off
...
Aug 2 12:50:22 philipashmore kernel: [ 41.742207] Linux agpgart interface
v0.102
so it still seems to get loaded.
4. This needs a corresponding entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the "screen"
section
Option "NvAGP" "1"
to choose nVidia's own AGP controller.
5. As may already know, the kernel parameters also enable the
framebuffer console.
6. When I log out of KDE, the desktop shuts down ok, but the screen goes
into text mode with a non-blinking cursor at the top-left - no login
screen. This is also what I see when I try to hibernate.
After logging out with the "stalled" text-mode display, I can press the
power-off button and ubuntu shuts down correctly, including a message
stating that the KDE window manager was stopped.
