hi,

Why do you all think, that nvidia is better. I try to setup a desktop
System with suspend and yes it is again a graphic card. This graphic
card is from NVIDIA and the driver doesn't support suspend!

There is a workaround, but this is not a solution, because you are
forced to use an old kernel with an old version of suspend2 and this
driver is very very slow!

I'll try to setup a Dell Notebook with the nvidia driver in a view days
and will give you feedback about! But I don't think it'll be better then
the ATI.

It's always the same, if you are not a big company, nobody care your
wishes!

Building an operation system without source code,
is like buying a  self assemble space shuttle without
instructions.
