Yes (somewhat) and it is by design. When S/R was being designed it
was agreed this would only be supported with the X server running as
the X server was the responsible party for restoring display state.
Although S3 is refused on Linux when the X server is not running, we
(unfortunately) never enforced this on Solaris. If you suspend at
at the console text prompt if the video gets restored on resume it
is by accident only.

The crash is in the keyboard code. Why is this being presented as a
NVIDIA issue?
(Although I am concerned about the WAIT messages from the NVIDIA X driver).
