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.
This discussion is getting quite absurd to be honest, but since I am being "misquouted" I feel that I have to make myself clear.
Since Linux is an opensource system, you are free to write your own support for suspend/resume.
I do provide my share of contributions to the open-source community, but not for suspend/resume. Why? Because that is not my field of expertise. However, in areas where I can't provide code I do file bug reports and I take that very serious. Providing a bug report, and especially a good one, is also a way of contributing. Also, it is actually a quite rude comment coming from you. According to you every Linux user must also be a Linux developer. It is people like you that scare of the a regular user. Have some humility towards users.
Your note indicates you would like to *order* some other opensource programmer to do your bidding. For no pay. Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
Don't make assumptions from nothing and don't put words in my mouth! I have never indicated no such thing is this thread. Why would I? The fglrx driver is closed-source by ATI. I simply wanted to know how I could make fglrx work with suspend/resume on my laptop. When I was informed that it was not supported I wrote, and I still have the same opinion, that ATI is releasing a driver without (to me and probably many others) a basic feature such as suspend/resume.
