Hi,
I just noticed that my kernel log (/var/log/messages and virtual console 10) are being flooded with messages like this:

Randall Schulz Never seen that before. Did find a link or two:

Thanks.
Looks like some folks were deleting atieventsd. Which driver are you running?
% rpm -q --whatprovides $(type -p atieventsd) x11-video-fglrxG01-8.561-1.1
... and / or:
% rpm -qa |egrep -i fglrx ati-fglrxG01-kmp-pae-8.561_2.6.27.7_9.1-1.1 x11-video-fglrxG01-8.561-1.1
(From the AMD / ATI repository for openSUSE 11.1.)
OK, still on the 8-12 driver from the repository and not from the ati-driver-package. Huh? This is a crappy answer, but I have got to hand over the reins to you on this one, you be in uncharted waters, well beyond the charted seas of my knowledge. I could only suggest, you try the driver package from the ati site and see if the problem persists. My understanding from the links above is that the atieventd daemon/module whatever it is, is the part of the package that responds to machine/user input events like 'lid closed' 'sleep' 'suspend' and for whatever reason the driver you have on your box is interpreting something as an event that it shouldn't even be listening to and whatever it is, the conversation 'it' and atieventd seems quite vivacious. You also might want to research the 'aticonfig --set-policy=STRING' string.
From the aticonfig man page it discusses:
External Events Daemon Options: Following options will not change the config file. They are used to send commands to the atieventsd external events daemon. --set-policy=STRING Sets the event policy for the daemon to be STRING. See the atieventsd(8) manpage for further details. Maybe you can turn the listening off? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
