Subject: ATI commercial driver and software suspend


Hi all, 

I'm able to do software suspend with the binary-only ATI driver.

This is in no means disrespect to the open source DRI driver but is just an 
info for someone who doesnot know. I myself came across this by accident. 
You need a program called vbetool. This allows one to save and restore the 
graphic card state before suspending and after resuming.

my system: SUSE 9.3 (which has vbetool-save and vbe-restore scripts for 
powersave installed together with vbetool but not used by default), ATI 
Mobility 9700, Sony Vaio VGN-S360, ATI driver 8.14.13, ACPI enable.

Now I wish ATI properly supports composite extension (enabling it produces 
garbage on my screen).

Bests,
Toan
