        I would say my experience with a Quadro 570M is about the same.
        Suspend
        appears to work but when it comes out of hibernate everything
        acts funny
        (momentary lockups and eventual hard locks).

I got a test machine with the 570M.  The nv driver suspends OK but
resumes with the backlight off.  I haven't yet figured out a
workaround .  This bug goes back to F8.  Hibernate seems to work fine.

The nvidia drivers for the latest kernel are delayed at Livna, so
haven't been able to test them yet.
