Comment 23 for bug 118605

I've got a similar problem with my IBM ThinkPad T42 / Mobility Radeon 9600 chip.
With the latest version of the fglrx driver compiz runs perfectly well and the machine is also able to suspend properly. But however, when I try to resume - with compiz previously enabled - I a get a grey and somewhat speckled slim bar on the lower right of the screen with some artifacts around the mouse cursor. The mouse can be moved but nothing else will work - compiz desktop will just not awake a second time!
When I previously disable compiz and then set my machine in suspend mode, this grey bar shows up as well, but only for a couple of milliseconds and then the desktop appears to start normally.
There is also a similar issue to this one - when I log-off (with compiz enabled) X freezes totally (black screen with backlight on) and the only thing I can do is a hard reboot!
I can provide you with more information - configuration files and logs - just say what you need and where I can find it!
