System hangs after suspend-to-ram resume when using radeon module


Hi,

My laptop is an Asus F5 running Slackware 12.2 (kernel 2.6.27.7). The video card is:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon X2300

Both fglrx and radeon module work fine except that suspend-to-ram works only with fglrx module: my laptop hangs on resume with the radeon module (I tried Crtl+Alt+F1 or Ctrl+Alt+Sup without any success).

My xorg.conf:
Code:

	Identifier     "Simple Layout"
	Screen      0  "screen" 0 0

and my suspend-to-ram acpi script :
Code:
 
#!/bin/bash

S3_LOCK="/tmp/S3.lock" 
S4_LOCK="/tmp/S4.lock"
if [ ! -e "$S3_LOCK" ] && [ ! -e "$S4_LOCK" ] ; then
  sync
  logger -t $0 "Entering Suspend-to-RAM mode" 
  lockfile "$S3_LOCK" 
  modprobe -r ath_pci
  killall dhcpcd
  echo -n mem > /sys/power/state
  rm -f "$S3_LOCK"
  modprobe ath_pci 
  /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth restart
fi

exit 0
How can I have suspend-to-ram to be working with radeon module? Any ideas?

Have you tried ATI's official drivers?
