Hi,

as Frederic already mentioned, in the latest version of pm-utils 
(1.1.2.2-1), no quirks are applied if

1.) You are using the binary/non-free driver from nvidia
2.) The fglrx binary/non-free driver from AMD/ATI
3.) A kernel more recent then 2.6.25 and the intel driver

See also
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/98smart-kernel-video (This heuristic was added 
by Matthew J. Garrett)

So, Chris, in your case, adding the patch wouldn't make any difference 
for you, as you wouldn't use a quirk after all (as you said, you use the 
binary only nvidia driver).

Chris, can you confirm, if you can successfully suspend/resume with 
latest pm-utils (1.1.2.2-1)? If so, I'd say we don't really need the patch.

Cheers,
Michael
