It is annoying that these nice cards don't have good driver support, but 
don't forget that they've finally released some specs and there are 2 
alternatives.

I've tried both radeonhd and a recent git pull of the x.org ati stuff 
that does support the V5200 card...

No 3d, but both are much faster than vesa and suspend/resume works 
without trouble.

Maybe there will be 3d soon.
