[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#620324: [fglrx-driver] suspend to RAM work only with kernel 2.6.32

[terragonjohn at yahoo.com]

Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 1:11-3-1
Severity: normal

suspend to RAM with fglrx works (and it always has worked) only with 
kernel 2.6.32.
I tried every version after 2.6.32 that appeared in the sid/experimental 
but the results are always the same:

1)with 2.6.32 suspend to RAM works 10/15 time in a row before starting 
to swap like crazy. I think this is a bug AMD has never really solved, I 
looked into their bug repository and there's always someone comeing up 
with this problem. Anyways, I can live with that

2) with any other kernel version in debian up to current 
2.6.38-2-686-bigmem, it suspends and wakes up one time (and it takes 
like a couple of minutes to turn the monitor on) and the second time the 
system locks completely and I need to do a hard reset.

That's it. I doesn't seem to be an upstream bug (I looked into their bug 
reps). The only thing plausible is that there's some debian-specific 
patch or kernel/config that went in (or out) after 2.6.32.

Thanks

John
