Nice to see you've solved it. In fact, the VGA driver is usually one of 
the most problematic components for suspending/hibernating smoothly or 
when resuming but there are some "hacks" you can try (such as 
blacklisting the driver involved to avoid it gets suspended/hibernated) 
but well, if using the nvidia driver removes the problem and you're happy 
with it, fine then :-)
