asus z71 laptop sleep (w/ nvidia), screen stays blank

[Tamas K Papp <tpapp@Princeton.EDU>]

Hi,

I just got an Asus z71v laptop, has an Nvidia GeForce-Go 6600 video
card.  Everything works except sleep (suspend to ram).  The problem is
that it goes appears to go to sleep ok, but when waking it up, the
screen remains blank.

I am using the powersaved package.  Tried:
- disabling intel_agp (the card is simple PCI),
- using both nvidia and nv drivers,
- acpi_sleep=s3_bios for the kernel,
- sleeping from both X and the console.
Nothing works.

Please help me by tring to localize the problem, or by suggesting
things I haven't tried.  Are there other options besides powersaved?

Thanks,

Tamas
