Most likely the drivers of your graphics card don't support hibernation. I know that mine (radeon, KMS) and some (most?) nvidia binary drivers don't.
Does this mean that I MUST shut down comp everytime I go to sleep? I have a new NVidia card, bought not so long ago.
I hibernate my 11.2 system every day, and I have an NVidia card ("nVidia G96 [GeForce 9500 GT]"). I use the proprietary driver (from rpm: x11-video-nvidiaG02-190.53-9.1.x86_64). However, I do so from the command line in text mode: after several trials I found that was the safest method. (the opensource driver was worse, crashed. Reported). However, I have another machine that was using 11.0, an NVidia card, and hibernates fine with the open source driver (and not with the proprietary one, last time I tried long time ago). I haven't tested 11.3 on any of these machines, but... in your case, I would try hibernating from text mode, and with the splash screen disabled. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
