No, suspend to ram isn't supported on nvidia cards to my knowledge. I'm using swsusp on a 2.6.17 with much good results, though! I haven't tried with recent debian kernels but linux-image-2.6.17 wasn't working out of the box back then when I tried it. (heh, I got swsusp working, why try a different kernel and thus reboot?! :)) filippo -- Filippo Giunchedi - http://esaurito.net PGP key: 0x6B79D401 random quote follows: Man was made at the end of the week's work when God was tired. -- Mark Twain
