[ltp] Halleluja, it actually WORKS! (Re: New ATI Driver)

[Nils]

Hi there,

okay, the ati driver works with suspend-to-ram. I don't see the following 
problem, because I don't need to leave X,  but
has anybody crashs after ending a session from X. (/etc/init.d/kdm stop - 
start from console is working).

regards,
Nils
