Given the recent positive developments and success stories concerning resuming ATI hardware from S3 suspend, I thought I'd give suspending my desktop PC to S3. Briefly, relevant parts of my hardware:

- ATI Radeon 7000
- Intel AGP chipset
- Linux kernel 2.6.9, ACPI 20041105

I want to be able to use framebuffer (vesafb, for bootsplash). DRI is certainly not required. It appears I have two options: the s3_late_bios patch or dummydriver/resume-finish-split. What do I need to do to try each one? For example, I know I need to pass acpi_sleep=s3_late_bios to my kernel to use that patch. It's unclear to me what I need to do with the dummydriver or resume-finish-split patches. Can someone tell me what I need to do? I don't really need step-by-step instructions, just need to know what to do.

Nothing. They don't need any kernel options to work. The dummydriver only works
for two specific devices identified by their PCI-ID (or whatever you call that).
It will *not* work for other devices.

You'll have better luck using resume-finish-split as I didn't see anything device specific in there (well, I didn't look very long heh).

These two patches don't help resuming your Radeon, they just prevent a freeze during resume caused by *other* devices.

My machine does freeze after resuming from S3. Is this caused by other devices (like the sound card, uses ALSA driver snd-cmipci)? If I _just_ have the Radeon problem, the machine should work fine except for the monitor being dead, right? In other words, I should be able to SSH in (which I can't)? I was under the impression that both the video not coming back and the freeze were caused by the Radeon, because before I bought the Radeon I was using the on-board graphics controller (Intel 82865G) and there were no problems.
