There was nothing eving with debuggin turned on and waiting for 10
minutes... I am now on 2.6.19 (with the current mactel patches) and the
patch is not necessary anymore, but still on macbooks sleep does not
work...

Actually I could get the mbp to sleep / resume with fglrx 8.29.6. Though
it reliably went to sleep it from time to time had trouble resuming (->
hang)

It does freeze immediately with with 8.31.5...

I would be interested if it works for you atm.

I am currently using it without the fglrx module quite reliably.
