Hi list,

I have a three year old Inspiron 6000 laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon
X300 graphics. I can't get the laptop to resume from suspend or
hibernate. I have gentoo-sources 2.6.23-r3, hibernate-script and
ati-drivers-8.40.4 installed.

Both hibernate and suspend used to work a long time ago, but stopped
after a few `emerge -uDN world`s. The older package versions when it
used to work aren't in the portage tree anymore :(

Does the suspend/hibernate process produce logs anywhere? I don't see
anything in /var/log/*

Will using open source drivers for my graphics chipset help in making
suspend/hibernate work? And how do they handle 3D for this chipset? I
don't play games, but it would be nice to use Compiz once it's stable in
portage.

Thanks for any pointers.
