Has anyone managed to get suspend and/or hibernate working with a FireGL 
5200 card using the proprietary driver? What about the Xorg fglrx driver?
I have a T60p with the FireGL 5250 and the proprietary driver and cannot 
suspend or hibernate.
Would it work if I used the Xorg driver?

I would appreciate if you provided any useful link on getting 
suspend/hibernate work. It seems that the inet is full of messages with 
(potential) problems / solutions, but I have not found any step-by-step 
procedure to identify the problem.
