I tested it and this was right, after reverting everything back to squeeze, suspend/hibernate work fine. Now I feel like I'm going crazy. It looks like installing ubuntu's packages left something behind that made it work, because with a 100% squeeze system it works fine, when it didn't work 3 days ago, before installing maverick's packages. > KMS should be enabled by default in both cases, so colour me skeptical. > But you can try flipping it with the radeon kernel module parameter > 'modeset' to see if it makes any difference in either case. It was set to 1. I tried setting it to 0, and something new happened: both suspend and hibernate worked but when it came back it didn't show X, it showed some kernel messages, but doing Ctrl-Alt-F7 worked. I couldn't go back to those kernel messages afterwards.

This was the state before downgrading back to squeeze: -*- libxfont1 1:1.4.3-1 newer than version in archive wireless-crda 1.12 installed: No available version in archive xserver-common 2:1.9.2.902-1 newer than version in archive xserver-xorg/squeeze upgradeable from 1:7.5+6ubuntu3 to 1:7.5+8 xserver-xorg-core 2:1.9.2.902-1 newer than version in archive xserver-xorg-input-all 1:7.6~2 newer than version in archive xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.5.99.901-1 newer than version in archive xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.3.0-1 newer than version in archive xserver-xorg-video-fbdev 1:0.4.2-3 newer than version in archive xserver-xorg-video-radeon/squeeze upgradeable from 1:6.13.1-1ubuntu5 to 1:6.13.1-2+squeeze1 xserver-xorg-video-vesa 1:2.3.0-4 newer than version in archive -*- Some of this packages were from experimental and some from maverick. Now it's all back to squeeze, so it's just: -*- wireless-crda 1.12 installed: No available version in archive -*- (Something that the installer left there, apparently) So, I really don't know what's going on, but now it's a full squeeze system and it's working, when it was not working before... The only possible conclusion, except that I'm mad that I hope I'm not, is that some configuration was changed by ubuntu's packages that fixed the problem. -- Love, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
