Finally it's a step in the right direction, fglrx is working with xorg
6.8.1 but that's it. So I hope again, that with the next release OpenGl
and Suspend will work together ... and it would  be too bad if there
were nothing I can look forward too :). 

P.s.: xgame is a script witch starts an xserver with a specified command
on an different vt .. the user interface isn't so good but it's working
and that is better than restarting the xserver....
