Hi,

nouveau is known not to be quite buggy with ACPI S3 state (Suspend to RAM) resume.
From my own experience, this is what it looks like,

RIVA TNT2 M64 (AGP) - freeze
GeForce 2 MX (AGP) - freeze
GeForce 4 MX (AGP) - OS is running, but screen is blank. If one enters the password carefully, you will get back to the OS.
GeForce FX 5200 (AGP) - Works
GeForce 6, 7, 8, and 9 series (PCI Express): Mostly don't work, use NVIDIA written device driver instead.

The chipset used against most of the time doesn't matter too much (i.e., The problem occurs with Intel, NVIDIA, SiS, and VIA.).
Are there any plans to ever fix this problem?

Regards,
