I don't understand.
Under X (so with nvidia driver) it works great. But when I kill X...so
no more nvidia proprio driver. and I enter "sudo pm-suspend" on a tty. I
can't resume the video.

Is the framebuffer necessary to resume ?

Thx for the tip.

With the LID_CLOSE_ACTION= option : I mean I want that my computer go to
sleep when I close the lid. How I do that correctly ?

This temperature problem was total new. And was not reproducible after
new test with suspend/resume. I will try to investigate further.

Yes I have found the nivida forums. I will post on it too.

Thx a lot
