--- Comment #17 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Comment #15) Hi Dant, Since no Linux device driver developers that I know of fix the bugs I report, I kinda gave up on uploading reports to get them to fix. That being said, based on my memory, this is what happens. - This ACPI S3 State bug appears to be related to ATI Technologies Radeon Xpress 200, and affects both AMD and Intel editions - This bug can be worked around by using a PCI Express graphics card instead (assuming that the particular graphics chip doesn't have any issues with ACPI S3 State resume) - See Comment #12 that this bug seems to impact Award/Pheonix BIOS-based mainboard - The Comment #12 implies that AMI BIOS is probably configuring the Radeon Xpress 200 differently than Award/Pheonix BIOS during POST, hence, the graphics device driver "happened" to work okay with AMI BIOS, but there probably is a bug in the way the graphics device driver is written - All known systems that have this bug have Award/Pheonix BIOS (Intel mainboard, HP Pavilion PC (I forgot the model.), and emachines PC (after flashing the BIOS via flashrom software), if I remember it correctly - The fact that Linux 3.9 kernel still has this bug means that the code for Radeon Xpress 200 hasn't really been updated to fix this embarrassing bug I have at least 3 different ATI Technologies Radeon Xpress 200-based mainboards in my apartment for testing purposes if anyone is willing to fix the bug.
