Normal suspend and hibernate works properly on my laptop using the
rpmfusion.org NVidia drivers on Fedora 11.  I didn't have to patch or
change anything.  I have a NVidia GeForce 8400M GS in my Dell XPS
M1330 laptop.  While I'm not thrilled about using the proprietary
driver, that driver for now is the only way suspend and hibernate work
properly.  Nouveau fails to return a working display:
