Current Issues
There are issues with hibernate when using the non-free nvidia xorg modules. Using 'nv' makes everything work without issue, or just switch to a VC and back to get a working X after resuming from hibernate.
Suspend seems to work fine with either free or non-free modules.
There is also a problem with blank VC's at boot. Looks like a duplicate of bug #32389
The above relate to Dapper only. Suspend and hibernate work flawlessly on Edgy (15-Oct-2006), and VCs display as expected.
