** Description changed:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
Since I upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 the machine does not resume from suspend.
1) Depending on the tools it behaves the following way: when using usual
(gnome) suspend, when trying to resume it turns on and off with a blank screen.
When using pm-utils, it turns on but the screen is blank. In all of these
cases, the system is irresponsive and requires a hard reboot (held down power
button). Sometimes the system just restarts (reboots) on its own after one
attempt.
2) There is also one more problem with the X that is conected. Occasionally,
when booting the system before getting the login window the system hangs with
the blank screen. It also remains totally irresponsive with no Magic Keys
working.
The reason why I think the issue is related to "radeon" driver is the
following. I've had a lot of problems be with the ATI/AMD proprietary fglrx
driver (no dual head support, no xvid etc). However, when I upgraded to 8.10 I
found the fglrx in use. Again, the performance was not good either (bad xv
support and slow). But I could resume from suspend OK and do not remember any
crashes when booting. I removed it and started using "radeon" driver. The
performance was better, but I started experiencing the above-mentioned
problems. I also tried "ati" driver (not sure if there is difference ) bu with
no avail.
Someone found a similar bug a couple months ago and followed the suggested
change in the Xorg.conf by trying different values for Option "AGPMode". it
didn't work. I also tried hibernate tools. It did similar things. I tried
with/without compiz, gives the same problem, as well as with the generic
Xorg.conf file. I attach both below
