Suspend works without problems or any tweaks. Hibernation does not
work, as the computer is not turned off at then end...

I installed the Nvidia drivers just to see of they would power down
the Nvidia device. This did not happen. Otherwise I was using the
Intel video which worked fine. I must now confess that I have
switched to using a two year old Sony Vaio SZ691N instead, where really
*everything* works (including the 3G modem ..!). The Asus is now
used by one of my colleagues who is very happy with it as is ...
