Thanks for the detailed information.

Since caps lock appears to still be working it sounds like your display's backlight is not being turned back on (so effectively the state of your card isn't being perfectly restored). However since you say that this worked correctly when you were testing the nv driver it sounds like an issue with the NVIDIA binary driver.

This is where things get complicated with of ifs and ands and buts. There is a small chance you may be able to get hibernate working IF your card is connected via agp AND the NVIDIA driver carries an agpgart for your card BUT there are no guarantees. You will need to disable your usual agp module and edit your xorg.conf (back it up first!) in order to test this but it's hard to know if you will be successful. See http://en.opensuse.org/NVidia_Suspend_HOWTO , the steps there don't fit your exact case (e.g. Ubuntu has a /etc/modprobe.d/ directory ) so please be careful. You may also find https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaLaptopBinaryDriverSuspend useful but it is missing the agp module blacklisting step.

Good luck!
