[Bug 569624] Re: pm-suspend does nothing

[tmokeefe]

I definitely feel that what farw is experiencing is indeed a bug and
should be addressed.

That being said, I do have a suggestion that might get you, farw, to a
better place. I don't know about your exact machine and it's hardware,
however my machine has an ATI Radeon HD 3670 graphics adapter which are
notoriously a problem for Linux users.

When I first installed Kubuntu 10.04 I was using the radeon (oss)
driver, which should be the best driver for Linux since it is both open
source and ATI officially releases their board specifications to the OSS
community... and even code snippets from their proprietary driver
(something that Nvidia definitely does not AFAIK). Truth of the matter
is though, the radeon driver doesn't support OpenGL and I believe this
is why my laptop temps go sky-rocketing since all that compute is
outsourced to the CPU.

What I am running for a video driver is the latest proprietary driver
from ATI (Catalyst v10.4)... *not* the one from the Ubuntu/Kubuntu
Proprietary Hardware Manager. It works pretty well and I do not have the
problems you're experiencing.

Here's the link:

Kubuntu folks are usually reluctant (from prior experience) back-porting
these kinds of things. Hope this helps.
