I do have the fglrx module loaded:
cartman ~ # lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
fglrx                 435904  14
irtty_sir               7104  0
sir_dev                17580  1 irtty_sir
irda                  128888  1 sir_dev
crc_ccitt               2048  1 irda
ath_rate_amrr           9220  0
wlan                  120924  1 ath_rate_amrr

And no problems on resume with it... strange... maybe something else is 
different...

BTW: just played with the xorg.conf and now I have a working dual head 
(actualy I am trying for a triple - the dockstation has 2 outputs - DVI 
and VGA - and the V3200 seems to be capable of running both the DVI and 
LCD in parallel - the 7500 couldn't). But Xinerama doesn't seem to work. 
Anybody had it working?


Cheers,
Dragos
