When I issue a an 'apm -s' in this machine with the recent NVIDIA drivers the

reset to the gdm prompt menu.

Does this work without the nvidia drivers being loaded (not even loaded and then
removed)

Comment 2 Brian G. Anderson 2002-04-25 05:52:33 UTC

When I use the generic VESA driver, suspend works fine.  It turns out the the
Dell uses a Gforce 2Go which doesn't work with the standard XFree NVIDIA
drivers.  The latest GForce driver from NVIDIA works, but doesn't suspend properly.

If this is an NVIDIA problem do I report it to them or will RedHat pass it on?

You'll need to go to nvidia with this; we can't support nvidia since we don't
have their source; they do have our source though.
