Description Armin Mohring 2005-09-17 12:50:22 UTC 
Hardware: AMD Athlon 64 3200, MSI Nforce 250GB Mainboard, 1GB RAM, Geforce
FX5900XT Graphicscard with 128MB RAM, Nvidia Graphicsdriver 1.0-7676.

I tried the suspend mode, but the reawake from suspend mode does not work.
Comment 1 Armin Mohring 2005-09-19 11:55:33 UTC 
After restarting the computer from suspend mode, the kernel and kernelmodules
are loaded. After that the computer hangs with a kernel panic.

NVidia driver is not really supported wrt. suspend.
Some documentation to get it working is in
http://www.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Suspend_NVidia_HOWTO and in
http://www.susewiki.org/index.php?title=ACPI_suspend

Did you suspend to RAM or suspend to disk? How did you do it?
Comment 3 Armin Mohring 2005-09-20 17:38:27 UTC 
From the logout menu I used "Suspend computer" (I think, it was suspend to disk).
In the computer bios, S3 is enabled.

No agp module is loaded. (lsmod | grep agp).

Reawake from S3 done with pressing the power button.

Harddisk layout: 100MB ext2, 1GB swap, 140GB for /.

Gnome or KDE?

for reproduceability, you could try in a terminal:

 powersave -u # suspend to RAM
 powersave -U # suspend to disk

But it won't work out of the box with the binary only NVidia driver.

I use KDE;
I have downloaded the Nvidia driver package from www.nvidia.com
Install: init 3; ./Nvidia....; compiled on my machine for kernel with installed
source; sax2 -m0=nvidia;...)
