making sleep states usable

I'm using a 2.6 kernel, and I want to make sleep states usable. There are two problems. The first problem is, I can't set the sleep state unless I'm root, even if I use sudo. The second problem is that X won't work after I resume (console works alright though). I just get a screen with a couple of random pixels on it. Any thoughts?

1) - only root can write to state files
How do you use sudo? I believe you can make a script that you make sudo'able in /etc/sudoers, which lets you suspend/standby. Why does this not work?

2) - x resuming problems
This is probably inherent to your graphic card driver. Which one are you using? Does it help to switch back and forth between x and consoles (I guess not because you already found out that console works)?

I use an admin (not root) account, so I can sudo anything as long as I type my password.

My GFX driver is nvidia-glx.

This is /proc/acpi/sleep. Shouldn't it be writable?
