I'm not sure if this is related, but here it goes: Unllike you, I'm running a (single) ATI card in a laptop and have just compiled and installed the 3.1.6-gentoo kernel. Like you, when I tried to hibernate the screen but dark, but it never actually completes the hibernation. Similarly with suspend to RAM I cannot recover from it and I have to power cycle it. I have not had such a problem with this laptop since I bought it two years ago. All I'm thinking of blaming is the new 3.1.6 kernel. -- Regards, Mick
