[ltp] Anyone got Suspend-to-Ram with fglrx driver works?

[Gavin W. Burris aka 86]

The PATA drive on the T43p is also an issue for S3 suspending, because
it doesn't support suspend.  Watch out.  I hacked the SCSI driver a
while ago and added the suspend functions, but have since lost that in
version hell.  It doesn't matter anyway, because I could not get the
fglrx driver to suspend either, even with the vbetool.

I will be trying again when I have more free time....
