Hey all... just a tip: * The fglrx driver works amazing currently. Make sure you use the version that still includes support for the xpress 200m - I have been using it for two years and it works wounders. (Also, this will likely be your last chance to experience aiglx with opengl 3.0 - since >= 2.6.29 is no longer supported on R200-R500 series ati cards via their proprietary driver - meaning this october you will be stuck with the radeon driver once again).
The proprietary driver had no suspend issues, with catalyst 9.3 (last support ever for < 2.6.29 (i.e. THIS version of ubuntu)) - and had amazing 3d support. Remember to use the aticonfig tool on a fresh Xorg.conf if you were to try and get this driver working. (Information for x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati, version 6.12.2 - on xorg-x11-7.2): I'm actually having problems with suspend on the x200m card too (only with radeon driver) - Although, on my gentoo system with the above versions, the system doesn't hang, but instead I get a friendly dialog from gnome indicating that the suspend failed. This kind of bug tends to lie within xorg's domain, which is difficult support to get here on launchpad, on a hardware-specific basis, without going right to xorg. http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon The above link contains some documentation and support-related links for the radeon driver. Currently, on their website, it says the the status of an R400-series's suspend ability is 'unknown'. A quick google indicates that all versions of the X200, including intel, amd, and mobile variants, are R400-series cards. If I get any further, I'll be sure to let you know. Uploaded, is my Xorg.conf for the radeon driver. Again this is =NOT= an ubuntu version, but I would suggest that if you're trying to get somewhere with crash-related issues, that you try and tweak based on the information I have (or have not) put in there. Please be aware that the radeon driver is actually pretty good at guessing most defaults (as evident by how much I have left out) Also, good news: apparently, there are some improvements coming for this driver, with the arrival of 2.6.31, according to phronix. ** Attachment added: "NON-debian/ubuntu Xorg - careful when using this." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27865269/xorg.conf -- [RC410] Xpress 200M hangs when resuming from suspend with DRI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
