How to I get suspend/hibernate working with my proprietary NVIDIA driver?

  • 772

I'm using a Sony Vaio Z. (VPCZ122GX to be precise) I have to use a modded kernel to boot and then reboot into the new kernel in order to get accelerated graphics. This is due to the nature of the hardware graphics chip switcher. I've got the NVIDIA graphics working fine, except for suspend/hibernate. When I suspend it goes to sleep, however, when I open the lid and press the power button, the light comes back on, but I have nothing on my screen. Its just black. I can't even enter tty1. I'd appreciate any possible solutions to my problem.

    pm-powersave runs scripts when you suspend/unsuspend. You should check pm-powersave's scripts, and make sure they don't do unsymmetric things to your graphics. I went into more detail in Why is wireless down/strange after switching to battery or closing/opening the lid?
