It works for me with the Nvidia card and the newest kernel and

necessary (for me, at least), to turn off builtin agp in the kernel

and turn on the NVagp in xorg.conf

If you want to make it work, you should post more details about your
system and drivers.
Also, with the newest (testing) version of gnome-power-manager and
associated hal, I'm only able to suspend if I su to root and run
pm-suspend in the terminal. I wonder if you might not be seeing the
same effect.
$ /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Operation not permitted
/etc/pm/functions: line 43: /.suspended: Permission denied
touch: cannot touch `/var/run/pm-suspend': Permission denied
/etc/pm/functions: line 100: pm-pmu: command not found
/etc/pm/functions: line 100: /sys/power/state: Permission denied
chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Operation not permitted
chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Operation not permitted
That's a short term problem, however.

I get the same when hibernating (custom 2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 kernel), which I
work around using sudo. Do we have confirmation that this is fixed w/ recent
updates of the kernel?
