After a more systematic testing it looks like

	Disabling nvidia.ko is a prereq for anthing to work - Its a well know problem 
	All tests was conducted with setting hw.acpi.osname="Windows 2001"

S1 State

	Testing S1 state - S1 state seems to work apart from the video card not turning off 
	when the system enters S1 state pressing the "wakeup/power combined" button brings the system	
	back to life but it blanks out the monitor 

	Visual identification on the power/sleep button shows S1 - e.g Blinks faster than S3 

	Halting the system with S5 actually shuts off the system
	
	Tested with hw.acpi.reset_video but it did no make any difference
	 

S3 State

	Testing S3 state - System enters S3 state with no other logged messages than 
	Apr 20 13:48:22 w2fzz0vc03 kernel: ACPI set debug layer 'ACPI_ALL_COMPONENTS ACP
	I_ALL_DRIVERS' level 'ACPI_LV_VERBOSE'
	Apr 20 13:50:00 w2fzz0vc03 acpi: suspend at 20070420 13:50:00

	Pressing the power/wakeup button reboots the system with no additional log messages

	I single short depression of the power button immediate initiates S5 state rather than S3 no
	matter how short the depression is

	Visual indicators shows S3 state "slow" blink 
	S3 state leaves the disks in dirty state 

S5 State

	acpiconf -s 5 initiates shutdown but never actually powerdown the system - however mostly
	after a S1 state it does enter S5 state   

 
Does anybody have any other suggestions for what to do now?
