[ltp] IBM T42 DRI Suspend Problem

[Emmanuel SCHRODER]

Hello Konstantin,

It's been a while since you wrote this message. Thanks to the new ATI 
driver I've been able to install xorg and use the fglrx driver. 
Unfortunately I still have an issue in resuming from a suspend when DRI 
is enabled.

Could you tell me how you fixed it?
