Hi,

nouveau is known 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 remains blank. If one enters the password carefully, you will get back to the OS.
GeForce FX 5200 (AGP) - Works fine
GeForce 7600 GS (AGP) - Works with Intel 850E chipset when I tested it.
Various GeForce 6, 7, 8, and 9 series (PCI Express): Mostly don't work regardless of the chipset used, use NVIDIA written device driver instead (ACPI S3 resume works fine with NVIDIA written device driver.).

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