Progress!
I found an article at
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=111497&highlight=suspend+resume
which points you to an ibm support page on the thinkpad site:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...-69135#version <http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69135#version>
Where you can download a working driver! Its a little old and meybe not very stable (I've had problems logging in from kdm.. hangs), but it suspends and resumes properly!

Do NOT use the Fn-F4 key to suspend. I don't know what this key does, but it sent my laptop into lala land and I had to power cycle it.

This driver is likely one of the Nvidia drivers released over the last year or so, but I don't know which one, and I don't know why they broke suspend/resume in later versions.


The xserver says this about the driver during initialization:
(II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//drivers/nvidia_drv.so
(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
Module class: X.Org Video Driver

I have a T62p (nvidia video and intel wireless) which will suspend but hangs completely on resume and has to be hard booted to recover. Are you saying that you've got this thing to susp/res under at all? Are you using the nvidia proprietary drivers or the xorg ones?

I have Radeon graphics and I'm using the xorg drivers. (I don't need no 3D graphics, this notebook is for office work). I have seen several reports on problems with NVidia and suspend.

You have seen http://en.opensuse.org/NVidia_Suspend_HOWTO?

I've seen this... and done it to no avail. I suspect I'll just have to wait the requisite 6 months to a year for things to work themselves out :(
