Suspend seems to be working so far
I have yet to stress-test it, but so far it looks like my FireGL 5200 laptop will suspend to disk and ram successfully using hibernate-script (and suspend2/tuxonice for the disk). The built-in ubuntu suspend-to-ram failed (but at least just returned me harmlessly to a login prompt).
I am running compiz/Xgl on an ubuntu gutsy system. I tried AIGLX but various rendering problems made it totally unusable, e.g. no highlighting of the current menu item when operating menus with a mouse.
If these results hold up, it is a massive improvement for me over the fglrx 8-1 driver, which crashed X so often that I didn't dare use it, and the 8.42 driver before that, which would only occasionally suspend properly, and usually caused me to need an fsck.
