I can supply some of those scripts if you think they will help you out.

I can't actually get my machine to suspend at all - it just goes to a blank screen with a flashing cursor and becomes totally non-responsive to keyboard/mouse/remote input (needs a hard reboot at this point). Video output isn't actually killed and the power and cpu fans keep spinning. There actually sounds like a momentary dip in the fan speeds when this happens so I'm not sure if it's actually suspending then immediately resuming but not resuming video correctly or not going in to S3 state at all. I
think it's the latter though...
I tried mythbuntu 8.04 & 8.10 live cd's and xbmc live 8.10 cd and the mythbuntu ones both suspended ok but resumed with blank video (can't remember offhand what the xbmc live cd did). I think with the appropriate tweaks, a base mythbuntu 8.04 or 8.10 install would resume video ok too.
I have a spare hard drive which I have installed mythbuntu 8.04 on (the uneven core usage in 8.10 is annoying me) so I'm going to try and get suspend/resume working on that before installing the latest nvidia driver, upgrading alsa, installing xbmc etc and make changes one at a time to see where the problem gets introduced. From some searching I've done, I suspect it may be lirc related.
I'll finish trying this first to see if I can get a base install suspending/resuming then start a new thread (and pm yourself) to ask for help if I'm still stuck, as I think I'm getting a bit off topic from rickx's original request...
Cheers,
Adam.
