Resume not working with Radeon Xpress 200M


Hi i have this video card
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M]


IT suspends but it looks on resume with the opensource radeon driver. It never worked with the open source driver for me. It worked with the proprietary driver but those drivers are no longer compatible with the new xorg(catalyst/fglrx worked in ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 but no high1er and in debian lenny)

My question is:If you have this card and manage to make it resume on a recent distribution please tell me if you did something to make it work or it just worked.
Thx

P.S
I do not use xorg.conf and i have only open source driver installed,currently i have a ubuntu and a kubuntu installed on this laptop, i did not tried any fix in the present because i tried them before so thuis operating systems are clean(nothing wrong with the libs or configs)
I tried a lot of stuff, so only if you have this exact card please frespond

It sounds like you have both (incompatible) drivers in your xorg.conf. You can have as many screen sections, or videocard sections as you like, and xorg will use what it finds.Take out the section(s) with your oss driver. If you're not going to use it, why keep it?

The proprietary driver uses it's own libs like libGL.so which means you only can have one or the other. Try this
ls -l /usr/lib/libGL*
ls -l /usr/lib64/libGL*

and you'll probably see what I mean. On my nvidia box, I libGL.so --> libGL.so.1 --> libGL.so.96.43.14 which is the old driver for cards made when nvidia was still operating out of someone's garage. Don't have the fglrx driver handy any more; not since it messed up my system when the script went mad as root.When you uninstall the fglrx driver, it puts the old libs back, or tries to.
