Well, the problem with fglrx is the whole
proprietary thing. thankfully radeon
isn't. for the past months using fglrx was
a reliable way for suspend to work, until
radeon grew better. Now I'm running without
fglrx, and suspend("knock on wood") works
with s2ram, not so good with
echo mem > /sys/power/state
I figured it's just a matter of time until things
get debugged and so forth.
