I have an NVidia GeForce FX Go5200 chip in my Toshiba laptop.
I have tuxonice-sources-2.6.24 (with TuxOnIce enabled to suspend to disk) and nvidia-drivers-169.09 (with ACPI enabled).
I don't have AGPGART in the kernel at all (and NvAgp=1 in my xorg.conf)
Without the nvidia module, hibernation works like a charm.
With the nvidia module, my screen is turned off after resume.
Any ideas how to handle this???

Summary of this thread (for the lazy ones..)
Solution: use VBEtool to restart the laptop screen. 8)

Hi,

I had the same problem, setting
Code:

ProcSetting extra_pages_allowance 0

in suspend.conf in /etc/hibernate fixed it.

Hope this helps
Seb

On my desktop I found that i had to enable the VBEtool options

I was previously using the suspend2 sources but have since discovered that
sys-power/suspend combined with sys-power/kpowersave & sys-power/powersave work a lot better.

again using the vbetool options.

See if that helps

VBEtool worked for me :D
The more interesting thing is that after resuming from hibernation the screen was not off as I though but in another state.
I have written a script that I called /usr/local/sbin/restart_screen.sh
Code:
#! /bin/sh
/usr/sbin/vbetool dpms off
/usr/sbin/vbetool dpms on

that restarts the screen.
in /etc/hibernate/common.conf I added:
Code:
OnResume 20 /usr/local/sbin/restart_screen.sh
