How to make Suspend and Hibernate work on MacBookPro 5,4?

Question

A several months ago I got a MacBokPro and was glad to find out a clear documentation for installing Ubuntu on it.

Installing ubuntu was easy, but the Suspend and Hibernate options are not working and I can find a solution for it. It is a real problem for me as the Sleep/Suspend functionality is a feature I use many times along the day.

I tried this (editing /usr/lib/pm-utils/defaults) but still after suspending and waking up the screen is just a black and white lines. The only thing I can do to solve the problem is to restart the X-Server.

Is there any solution to this problem?

Did you install Lucid like in the documentation, or precise or quantal? — smartboyhw, Sep 03 '12 at 07:14
Do you mean your computer doesn't turn on or off successfully after hibernation? Or you don't see a hibernation button(its disabled by default)? — , Sep 03 '12 at 07:16
Er I think it is the first one, since suspend doesn't work too in his case — smartboyhw, Sep 03 '12 at 07:16

After changing the graphical driver seems like the suspend functionality is working great.

just go to "Additional Drivers" then changed to the recommended driver and restart.
