(In reply to Bug Description) Hi,
I need to give status update on this posting from while back. Regarding the problems I have identified with regard to ATI Technologies Rage 128 display device driver, the ACPI S3 State resume freeze problem with ASUS P4T-E was due to a buggy BIOS. The BIOS I used when I posted the bug report was Revision 1007, which is ASUS P4T-E's last official release version of the BIOS. However, it turns out if I used Revision 1008 Beta 003 or Revision 1008 Beta 004, then the ACPI S3 State resume freeze problem will go away. Here is ASUS P4T-E's download page. http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=1&s=15&m=P4T-E I have a policy of not using beta version BIOS whenever possible when filing bug reports. However, based on my experiments with ASUS P4T-E, the last official release version was buggy around ACPI so I now use the beta version BIOS (Revision 1008 Beta 004) for this mainboard. My view is that, beta version of BIOS (Revision 1008) was released specifically to deal with Revision 1007's ACPI S3 State resume bug. I will also add that ASUS probably forgot to qualify Revision 1008 as an official release version. I never tested this board with Windows 2000/XP so I don't know how it will fare in a Windows environment. Note that ASUS P4T-E's ACPI S3 State resume is done through video rePOST (re-Power On Self Test) method, and that's the only method available for this mainboard. It does not give the option of not doing video rePOST, but since Ubuntu 12.04 works reliably now, I think I can conclude that I found a good solution to the bug report I submitted. I think it is fair now to close this bug report since I found a solution to the problem, and for other issues I have raised in this bug report, I will refile them later in a different bug report with relatively low priority since the flashing green screen is not a fatal bug.
