Hello Thinkpad users,
I am using swsusp2.1 with radeonfb and xf86/fbdev on a Thinkpad R50 with
Radeon Mobility 9000 (Model 1829-7RG). Kernel is 2.6.9, xfree86 is 
debian/testing, i.e. 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8.
I'd like to use radeonfb because of the power management code that keeps 
the mobility chip cooler, until there are xorg debian packages with 
radeon power management.
Suspend/resume is working well, however the memory consumption of the 
XFree86 process grows with every suspend/resume cycle, until after 5 to 
10 cycles RAM is runnning out and I have to reboot.
Does anyone see the same behaviour?
Can anyone with radeonfb + xf86/fbdev setup confirm or deny this beaviour?
Regards.
Matthias
