65 I'm not sure if this is related, but here it goes:
66
67 Unllike you, I'm running a (single) ATI card in a laptop and have just
68 compiled and installed the 3.1.6-gentoo kernel.
69
70 Like you, when I tried to hibernate the screen but dark, but it never
71 actually completes the hibernation. Similarly with suspend to RAM I
72 cannot recover from it and I have to power cycle it.
73
74 I have not had such a problem with this laptop since I bought it two
75 years ago. All I'm thinking of blaming is the new 3.1.6 kernel.
