Hi! JFYI ----- Forwarded message from Nguyen The Toan ----- Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2005 13:37:02 -0700 From: Nguyen The Toan To: DRI , linux-sony@ 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).
