I think I have the same problem. My system seems to swap everything in after resume from S3 sleep. Even though this is marked as a duplicate, I think this is possibly unrelated. I am using the fglrx module. This is on Jaunty, with an Asus F6V. I see this in the dmesg on the machine: [1052262.236206] ACPI handle has no context! [1052262.252119] [fglrx] Power down the ASIC .
