mmm...

I agree, ATI has been extremely unhelpful and I am not likely to support 
them again. A year ago they told me to use the external agpgart module, I 
see that even though they have an open case, they still will not 
acknowledge this to be a problem on their side - i.e. fglrx. I really 
believe they have enough information to solve this.

Whether I resume from RAM/disk I don't get issues with glxgears or 
fgl_glxgears. I do however have Xorg and a custom dsdt, might be that. And 
the high power consumption goes away when I restart X after reloading 
fglrx, funnily enough. Wonder what it re-initialises?
