Great Dominik! A BIG thank you! I was getting crazy about this, you avoided me a downgrade to 8.10 :-)

Turning acpi-services=off it seems to work!

Ctrl-Alt-F1 switch to VC works
Suspend and resume works
Compiz works
VMware Workstation 3D acceleration works

I've only a message like this from the kernel:
[fglrx:fireglAsyncioIntEnableMsgHandler] *ERROR* interrupt source ff000066 is not supported on this hardware (return code = 1)

but for the moment it seems harmless

And, not less important, now my laptop is back to a normal temperature!
Look at this:

liuk@spock:~$ acpi -t
     Battery 0: Full, 100%
     Thermal 0: ok, 16.0 degrees C
     Thermal 1: ok, 38.0 degrees C
     Thermal 2: ok, 46.0 degrees C
     Thermal 3: ok, 34.3 degrees C
     Thermal 4: ok, 40.0 degrees C
     Thermal 5: ok, 30.0 degrees C

Please note that after the upgrade to Jaunty with the radeonhd driver, the Thermal 2 values was always between 56 and 62 degrees!!! and my battery duration dropped down from 3 hours to less than 2 hours!

Thanks again.
HTH to others with the same issue.
Cheers,
Luca
