Re: nvidia & suspend2

Thanks, though I'm fine with the nvidia drivers. My problem is that they 
do not integrate seamlessly with suspend2/hibernate, at least not 
without some code modifications. I'm trying to copy a method of removing 
AGP support from the kernel so that the nvidia module can be suspended 
but menuconfig won't let me unselect that option.

clearer :) Sorry)
