Before I had in fglrxinfo:
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8)

I updated to Gutsy and got:
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6)

Next I installed the download from ati
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6958 Release

On suspend my machine goes off (monitor black, keyboard & mouse dead, no fan, no harddrive sound, only the power LED stays permanently on), but I could not get it to resume. I press the powerbutton and nothing happens. I have to hold it down for 4 seconds, so the power LED is turned off, next I boot. The first boot hangs indefinitely with only some pixels drawn in the progressbar. So I need to Ctrl+Alt+Del for a second boot up to succeed.

I did not get explicit errors in /var/log/messages other than:
Nov 8 10:45:58 samson kernel: [ 14.810904] ACPI: Please test with "acpi_osi=!Linux"
Nov 8 10:45:58 samson kernel: [ 14.810906] Please send dmidecode to <email address hidden>

-> I sent a dmidecode to that email-adress yesterday

and lots of these:
Nov 8 11:59:16 samson kernel: [ 4535.060000] psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away.

Sometimes there are 6 in a minute. The whole screen seems to freeze until I press shift or move the mouse. This affects all KDE applications, kicker won't hide, the "jumping" icon on start of a new applications stops jumping, pidgin won't scroll, the cursor in kwrite stops blinking or the console opens, but the prompt does not appear before I press a key. No keyevent is lost though ... if I type a letter, it is inserted into pidgin, kwrite or the console. This is extremely annoying on boot, since I never know, if the computer is hung up or just waiting for some keyboard-action. On average I have to type shift about 10 times all over the boot process, or it will block forever.

BTW the old kernel version 2.6.20-16 does boot normally, but it has no fglrx anymore ... only the mesa-software-emulation :-/

Thanks for your attention so far...
