Well, in polite response, you did not read, NOR did your follow-up on
comment #14, where you would see I have already installed the suse drivers!

Marcus, you guys do good work and I don't mean to shoot the team, but in
this instance, and several others recently (Broken Rescue - to name one)
real opportunities to fix problems and better the distro seem to be
falling through the cracks.

The point to be made, for the benefit of the distro, is that there is a
significant bug that relates to Toshiba laptops running the Mobility
Radeon 9600/9700 chipset that does not simply need to be brushed aside
with a precatory "WONTFIX". The bug was not there in 10.2 because this
very same laptop ran wonderfully, logged out properly and would reboot
properly without hanging.

Is I stated earlier, I stand ready and willing to once again strip all
fglrx drivers from the system and reinstall them in whatever manner you
think might help. I want to help figure out what is causing this bug.
But instead of further discourse to fully explore and diagnose the BUG
someone took it upon themself to "RESOLVE" the bug with a "WONTFIX".

And yes, I stand by my post. There is a problem when bugs are being
closed and not fixed. Especially when it is apparent that the bug is
being closed before anyone has been able to diagnose or understand
exactly what the bug is.

Now, shall we try again? Will you reopen Bug #338930?
