I have an 3ish yr old Inspiron 9100, with an ATI Mobility 9600/9700 |
| 10 |
(RV350?). Apparently mine is a "special" case... |

I've had mixed success over the last 3 years. Various versions and |
| 17 |
combinations of ati-drivers and kernels did / didn't work. Simple |
| 18 |
solution could be because some names have changed recently. (suspend2 > |
| 19 |
tuxonice, eg). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The other think I can suggest is to try various versions of each. At |
| 22 |
least try ati-drivers 8.452 flavour, and some ati-drivers 8.35.x to |
| 23 |
8.40.4 versions as well. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
There's also suspend2-sources. er, that's tuxonice-sources now. Try |
| 26 |
unstable sources and hibernate-script as well. Are you using suspend or |
| 27 |
suspend2? |

post the output when you get logging going from the other suggestion. |

I think the X300 has decent success, unlike mine :( There was some help |
