Bryce,

I am not having a problem with either suspend or hibernate using the fn-f1 or fn-esc keys. I am an Inspiron 1420 owner, with integrated nvidia graphics. The 1420 also ships with the integrated intel graphics. I suspect the user with the problem has not properly setup their machine for suspend/hibernate.

For suspend / resume to work reliably (using the fn-key combinations or otherwise), the owner must be using the proprietary nvidia module. No way around it.

They must make additional customizations for it to work.

I outlined the necessary steps here:

I am using Ubuntu 8.04.1 amd64 with all updates, and am not having this problem.

If there are further questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Harvey
