Also on an AMilo LI1718.

I think it may be GDM that is causing the screen corruption when booting with radeon.modeset=0, as if I boot Kubuntu (and therefore KDM instead of GDM) with the same option I don't get a corrupted log in screen where I have to ALT+SysRq+K to reset it.

Regardless of that I _still_ can't suspend and resume, and Hibernate doesn't always function. I need at least one of the to work as using a laptop is unusable without them.

Incidentally, after trying and failing to suspend and resume, networking in Kubuntu (and probably Gnome (haven't tested yet) seems to die, being "unmanaged". Having the Wicd network application installed gets around this, as that still works.
