I know that and I am not judging the open-source community or (Open)Suse In fact, I used to used the radeon driver for 3 years and everything worked great - including STD and STR. What upset me was that ATI releases a faulty driver (yes, I do consider it faulty since it doesn't do what could be expected). I admit that I didn't read the "Known bugs/limitations/issues" carefully enough. But I never thought that there would be a KNOWN bug in the ATI driver that could potentially corrupt one's harddrive. Anyway, this is the wrong forum and my original intention with the thread was to figure out why it didn't work and how I could fix it. I now know that it all lies in the hands of ATI.

I am user and I considering suspend/resume to be a basic feature (just like power on/off) with it being the year 2006 and more and more users use laptops.
The key is not what developers or companies think but what their users think and expect.
Tell that to ATI/AMD. They are reportedly considering Open Sourcing the ATI driver. At this time, the driver is closed source and can only be fixed by ATI, so there is nothing SuSE or anyone else can do about this until ATI fixes it or open sources their card internals.
