I can suspend from text console and I never tried from graphics. But then

have an idea what the problem might be so it could work in the next release.
This is on 64bit Linux.
--This has been a vexing problem for me, too. In fact, I was going to
post the same question just before I read your posting. The latest
stable kernel release is, if I am not mistaken, is 2.6.14-3 (which
should presumably include 64-bit kernels, too). Isn't a patch needed
for suspend to work? Can any of the suspend patches be used on the
latest stable 64-bit kernel?
When you say "next release," do you mean "next release of the 64-bit
kernel?"
When I got my initial lemon of a R3000 last year, I remember being able
to successfully suspend to disk and recover under 64-bit SuSE 9.1. I am
not 100% certain because at the time I was fighting multiple hardware
problems with the initial lemon of a laptop, but I think that when I
successfully executed suspend-to-disk and recovered, I was using the
'nv' driver, NOT the 'nvidia' driver. Although I tried replicating
these early successes using the 'nv' driver and suspending from text
console, I have failed.
Earlier, I remember nVidia claiming on its web site that its drivers
supported suspend to disk but not suspend to RAM. So much for the
fabled nVidia support for Linux (by their own admission). It's better
than others' Linux support, but NOT great!
