I'm thinking about how to manage this.

It should be possible for the nvidia binary driver to pop a script in:

  /etc/acpi/suspend.d/05-nvidia-override-post.sh

containing a check that it is running and then:

  SAVE_VBE_STATE=false
  POST_VIDEO=false
  USE_DPMS=false

and in the case of that wiki page, Dell 8600 is already whitelisted as having working suspend.

Peter: can you provide the dmidecode details of your Compaq R3200 and if suspend works work the normal free drivers (eg. nothing nvidia specific). If it does, I'll white list that too.

I don't have an nvidia to check this with though.

And can you file a separate bug against the Nvidia driver that it should automatically set:

  Option NvAGP true

BTW ...what exactly does this do?
