Using a Compaq Desktop 64 bit system, Model SR1750NX. This computer has onboard ATI graphics and 1 gig ram (shared with the video card). The fglrx driver from the Ubuntu repositories is being used.

This computer will suspend successfully from Windows XP.

When Hibernate is selected from the Logout box, or Suspend or Hibernate is selected from GDM, the screen goes dark, but the computer is locked up. I literally have to unplug the machine (no reset button) and plug it back in to regain control of it. I can also put the computer in Hibernation with the Hibernate button on the keyboard, but this results exactly as with GDM or the Logout box.

When I Hibernate with Windows XP, the screen goes dark and the green power light on the front of the case flashes.

With Ubuntu, it's like the computer starts to go into Hibernation, but then something stops it from going all the way into Hibernation.

System is fully updated as of 5/31/06.
