[ltp] IBM T42 DRI Suspend Problem

[Konstantin Filtschew]

hi,

you have to install the fglrx drivetrs, try to take the newest from
www.ati.com.

The problem is well known, I know how to fix it in xorg-x11, but maybe
not on xfree86.

If you have a running x-windows-system, then it'll be possible to help
you.

Try to reinstall you'r x-windows-system, if it's broken.

Try to find out which version of xfree you have, the log file should
help you /var/log/XFree86.0.log
