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