Do you think the problem may be with the xserver? Did you upgrade to 7.3?
Over here I did the upgrade to 7.3, but with testing with vesa there
seems to be no module with the xserver for vesa
or at least I haven't located it yet. On a positive note suspend does
work with the ati driver installer, the negative side is
it doesn't work without it. So from my perspective over here, Does
xserver(7.3) have vesa support?
