Fedora 7 on a Dell D800 requires a little work to get suspend/resume working. The default configuration causes it to freeze during the resume, with the shift and scroll lock LEDs blinking.

The following has been tested with kernel-2.6.22.9-91.fc7 and NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19 on a Dell Latitude D800 with GeForce FX Go5200 graphics.

  1. If you use the binary-only nvidia driver, append "agp=off" to the kernel line in /etc/grub.conf. This disables the built-in AGP driver and allows nvidia to load its own.

    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.9-91.fc7 ro root=/dev/vg1/root quiet agp=off
    
  2. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the NvAGP option:

    Section "Device"
        ...
        Driver         "nvidia"
        Option         "NvAGP" "1"
    EndSection
    
  3. Reboot, log in and check if the nvidia AGP driver is used:

    # cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
    Status:          Enabled
    Driver:          NVIDIA
    
  4. Create /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules with the following content:

    SUSPEND_MODULES="uhci_hcd"
    

    Create /etc/pm/config.d/nvidia with the following content:

    DISPLAY_QUIRK_VBE_POST=false
    

    Make the files executable with

    chmod +x /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules /etc/pm/config.d/nvidia
    

Suspend and resume should work now.
