    Did it just work? Did you have to do ANYTHING to get it to work aside from
    just enable it? That is all I have done so far.

    I went to yast and enabled both suspend to disk and suspend to ram.

    When I go back to my desktop and right click the plug/battery icon, on the
    context menu is the options for suspending to disk or ram. They both act the
    same. I will see the dialog box in the middle of my desktop giving my
    percentage written to ram or disk. Then I will see my screen go blank
    followed by very bright psychedelic patterns for a split second then power
    off (if suspend to disk) or suspend (if suspend to ram). Then by hitting the
    power button again to bring back, I'll see the suse screen, then text mode
    showine the progress of the reading back to ram, and then it (seems like when
    it tries to init the video card) reboots again. This time it doesn't see the
    suspended state/flag/boot sector/grub option/etc. and boots normally causing
    fsck to run and see the disk messy (I assume from the suspend) and cleans it
    up. Don't know the exact messages, but they are the same as if you just shut
    off the machine and not init 6 it properly. I am using the binary video
    driver for nvidia with the options nvidia NVreg_Mobile=0 option set in
    modules.conf file.

    Are you using the nvidia drivers?

    Any insight you may have from ANY tweak that you needed to do aside from
    simply enabling it, gotchas, common problems, lack of support for certain
    things, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks is advance.
