I've tried this twice and it succeeded both times:
paul :~$ sudo pm-suspend --quirk-dpms-on --quirk-vga-mode3
--quirk-reset-brightness --quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vbemode-restore
--quirk-vbestate-restore
I must admit I am surprised because I have an nvidia driver 169.07 and
always thought it did not support use of vbetools. In fact the
nvidia-glx-new README says:
o Some distributions use a tool called vbetool to save and
restore VGA
adapter state. This tool is incompatible with NVIDIA GPUs' Video
BIOSes and is likely to lead to problems restoring the GPU
and its
state. Disabling calls to this tool in your distribution's init
scripts may improve power management reliability.
But the proof is in the success.
By the way, I don't see --quirk-reset-brightness in the pm-suspend man
page???
Still no idea why kde-power-manager can't start a suspend....
