You are right, I was not careful when testing. I tested once more with 
two different kernels; hibernation works (also in normal init 3) as long 
as video settings are the same between suspend and resume. If they 
differ (e.g. plain VGA before suspend and frame buffer after) display is 
most likely completely garbled (but still is not blank).

Of course, any attempt to switch to X (using nv driver) after resume is 
doomed. OTOH *starting* X after resume seems to work. 

Sorry for the noise.
