I don't know whether to believe Mr. Q, it's not clear whether he speaks truth or not. If he is under NDA, he should already have been kicked in butt but he isn't, so it seems that more or less he's making things up... :D
Anyhow he's not bitching about everything is bad with catalyst, there is no offense from him, nice person I would like to say :)

Which is why I'm getting suspend\resume capability every other driver...:confused:

he writes the same

"That might be more a problem from your system configuration (hardware*1/software*2 used) than something else."

:p hardware*1 means other company card and software*2 means other company driver LOL

I wasn't saying that Qaridarium!

What I was talking is that unfortunately (and that doesn't just apply to AMD/ATI cards, but also sometimes to nVidia and Intel ones), some hardware (mainly the motherboard chipset used) and software configurations (for instance, your Linux distro / kernel / Xorg Server version combo) can do significant changes in the way your graphics card work... And it's a bit annoying that unfortunately, there are some problems with some hardware/software combinations that aren't easy to solve... :(

Cheers

1. No, I'm just an "Average Joe" Linux user... But as an undergraduated telecoms engineer (now in graduation process :) ), I know a tiny bit about driver development (Microcontrollers), and I admire the work driver developers do... It's a very tough work, believe it!

2. I also don't have almost any problems with my ATI cards too (except I've to use Catalyst 10.7 + Xorg 1.8.2 for my HD2600 to properly work with H264 videos)... Otherwise, everything's working fine. :)

Cheers

@Q

Every card needs powersave, especially high end ones. Without they would need much more power than needed. But thats the price you want to pay for using oss drivers ;)

I'm sure you're aware that the closed source team is larger.
