Comment 24 for bug 139089

Sitsofe Wheeler, it seems you work too hard ;-))

As I read it, the new thinkpad_acpi 0.16 solved suspend/resume for Robbob.
He uses VESA driver anyway because he did'nt know how to build an according linux-restricted-modules package (I wonder if this would be needed to rebuild at all?).

I can confirm for current gutsy amd64 that with a patched kernel and vesa driver, suspend to ram and disk work perfectly on my T61p.

I also can confirm that using the nvidia driver causes a crash during resume.
With 2.6.22-10 suspend 2 ram was possible (using the script from thinkwiki, not using the fn-hotkeys), but X was unusable slow after resume.

NVidia knows about this problem (crash on resume in some installations, X slow after resume on other installations) (and some other problems of the 100.11.14 driver).
According to their forum they are working on a new driver with pressure, but it seems they need more time for this one;
probably they try to solve too many things at a time:
+ there are suspend/resume problems, with almost every hot chip currently sold in top laptop
+ they to want to become compatible with the new ABI of just released xorg 7.3 without breaking with earlier xorg releases like 7.2
+ your certainly know about the compiz patch that just became upstream but causes crashes when meeting the nvidia driver
