Regression: Hibernate with radeon driver -> garbled screen

Has this ever worked during dapper?

Just in case it's any help, I have a desktop with an
"ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)]". I was using the "ati" driver. I just tried it with the "radeon" driver, which seems to work too. In both cases it seems to recover from hibernation OK.

I upgraded from Breezy about 2 weeks ago, so I have no experience with the original beta 1 packages. Seb: ati is something like a "meta" driver which chooses the right one for you hardware. So using ati on a radeon board will select the radeon driver. The X300 is at least one generation ahead of my card. But thanks!

Which info can I provide?

I'd love to see this bug fixed in the final 6.06 release. ATI released a new driver, maybe this would fix the regression? One again: Is there any information I can provide to solve this problem?

Perhaps this is related:

With the i810 driver, the use of vbetool during suspend/resume causes the display rendering to be a mess after resume. I have had to comment out vbetool from the suspend.d ACPI scripts.
I am going to file a separate bug report about the need to remove or fix the use of vbetool. I don't know if this is a vbetool bug, an issue in the i810 driver (Alan Hourihane seems to think not) or some other issue. I also don't know whether the use of vbetool is required for other video chipsets. I suppose the use could be special cased. Lastly, I suppose it could be an issue in the Linux kernel's ACPI support.

Are these the same bug?

Hello!! Would you please explain why this still says NEEDINFO, and then decide what to do about the bug? This was reported pre-6.06 and now Edgy is about to get released. Please don't delay.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

Sorry for taking so much time to post my reply, I marked the mail as TODO but forgot about it. Since there are so many laptops with ATI card and working hibernate functionality out there (my T42 works fine too), I would conclude that it is an issue with this specific laptop. It seems to be broken in many ways (loading yenta_socket with default parameters hard locks the machine). I don't think a workaround for this specific machine would make a lot of sense, as it is a rare model (Gericom Blockbuster XL something) and only sold in Germany and Austria AFAIK. Please mark as WONTFIX if you desire.

Cheers
