Just to show how weird these things are, I have exactly the same specifications as quoted above (all three), but it didn’t help at all.

I’m running a fresh Ubuntu 8.04 installation out-of-the-box, with and without the update-manager update. Before I reinstalled (old Ubuntu 8.04 installation, updated incrementally as they became available), I never had any problems with waking up from sleep. I wish I hadn’t reinstalled!

Works for:
Dell Latitude D800
GeForce FX Go5200
Kubuntu Karmic (9.10)

Note: on the acpi-support file, I left the SAVE_VBE_STATE line to its default
of ‘mem’.

Works perfectly. Even WiFi re-connects on resume.
I can shut my lid again without shutting down!
Many, many thanks!!

Worked nicely for me on a Dell Dimension 8300 with an FX 5500 card, running Linux Mint 8 (Karmic).

To elaborate on Peufel’s useful note (since I missed it), after you change the blacklist file (now called blacklist.conf), you’ll need to run:

sudo update-initramfs -u

before rebooting and testing suspend.

Super, now resume works with the binary driver as well.
