Re: [Mactel-linux-users] new ati driver

[Sheer El-S. <sh...@gm...>]

Well I was running Gutsy, 2.6.22 and radeonhd and suspend to ram
seemed to work reliably for 3-4 times I used it.  Then I tried
switching kernels to an older kernel (with SLAB?) listed off the
ubuntu MBP howto that supposedly helped with suspend and also
installed fglrx.  Things worked pretty nicely and I don't even think
power usage went up much (though its hard to tell because the battery
info in proc keeps vanishing and trackerd is running up the CPU) but
suspend broke consistently.  I switched back to the original kernel
and radeonhd and suspend seemed to work again but then when I tried to
resume it this morning the screen stayed depressingly blank.

Could this be because I left a monitor section in my xorg.conf (from
when I had installed fglrx)?  I'm going to try to revert to my pure
radeonhd xorg and see how things go.  I've already removed the fglrx
module and am running the original kernel and I had hoped  this would
get me back to a stable setup.

Does anyone have an MBP 2,2 with stable suspend/resume using radeonhd?
 I can wait for a month or two for ATI to sort out its issues but I
really need stable suspend/resume.

ps I'm using ubuntu's suspend/resume which does not use s2ram I believe.
