No ATI Catalyst 8 driver exists yet for the ATI Mobility FireGL V5200.
The ati-driver-installer-8.443.1 run file creates an fglrx driver that does NOT 
work with the SLUB kernel.
So on the IBM /Lenovo Thinkpad T61, suspend/resume wont work with the 2.6.23 
kernel.

I don't know if it's intentional, but when I upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10, a 
2.6.20 kernel was left in place.
Booting that kernel gives me a working suspend/resume, but the Mesa GL layer.  
(Probably because I didn't run the run file to create a kernel driver for the 
other kernel.)

Two questions:

1. Can someone point me to the procedure to disable this driver and revert to 
the free driver?
I thought I knew how to do it, but I kept coming up in 800x600, and I KNOW the 
free driver works better than that.

2. Can someone point me to where on the ATI web site I can vote, "PLEASE
Hurry up and release Catalyst 8 for the FireGL V5200"?

Or is there someone who has gotten this hardware to suspend / resume
without rebuilding the kernel?
