An additional observation. If I suspend and resume with the nv drivers. On resume switching to a virtual terminal shuts off the screen and I have to reboot to get it back on.
As long as I stay in X windows everything is fine and I can suspend and resume as many times as I please.
But if I do ctrl-alt-f1 then I get a blank screen and after ctrl-alt-f7 it is still blank. I can tell that everything is still working because ctl-alt-backspace produces a chime indicating that X windows went to the login screen, my monitor is just blank.
