ATI/AMD Proprietary FGLRX graphics Driver causes Suspend/Resume Failure

[Patrick Gillespie]

10.10 RC AMD64.

Running on VAIO VGN-FW373J.

Installing the ATI/AMD Proprietary FGLRX graphics Driver causes Suspend and Resume failure. Attempting to resume will sometimes cause the system restart.

Also, initial splash screen resolution problems continue (also noticeable in 10.04). There is already a BUG related to this *latter* issue - sorry I don't know which one.

I have uninstalled the driver (as I did with 10.04)

Update & Correction:

This bug seems to be independent of the Video Driver.

Removing the Video Driver didn't resolve the problem. Maybe this is a regression with 10.10? Whenever the laptop suspends, resume results in failure, The system restarts to recover.

With 10.04, I could safely Suspend though Hibernating did not function.

I haven't tried hibernating yet, but will.

Update: Tried hibernatiing. No go.

System crashes. 10.10 RC, at least, does *not* like my VIAO. I'll hold out until the official release and try again. If any among the pros would like to work on the problem, let me know. If the official release doesn't provide some minimal Suspend functionality, I'll be going back to 10.04 or a possibly Fedora (if only for the sake of Hibernation & Suspend).

This Bug should be renamed:

Suspend to RAM doesn't work on Sony Vaio VGN-FW373J with Ubuntu 10.10.

Symptom: When trying to resume from a suspend, the system does a full restart. How to recreate? Choose Suspend and then attempt to resume.

(It now seems unrelated to whether the ATI driver is installed.)
