2.6 is getting better! I only have two outstanding issues on my setup. I've CC:d the appropriate maintainers:
1. Software suspend
This began actually working in -test9. However, if I S4 from within X, it will never resume. In fact, it will begin resuming, but then it will go 'Waiting for DMAs to calm down' or something, and then reboot, and loop rebooting.
Also, my USB devices will not be re-enabled unless I unplug the hub and replug it back in. Is there a way to kick my hotplug manager in the shins on resume, or simulate a unplug/replug?
2. Radeon framebuffer
At boot time, since like kernel 2.5.59, there is a pile of random junk on my framebuffer which scrolls away after a while with the boot messages. It usually elicits weird questions from my Windows- and Red Hat-using colleagues. "Whoa, pretty colors!" or "what the hell?" :)
Also only recently I am seeing some text clearing problems especially when using mutt. Some characters will be stuck on the screen after paging up and down, and sometimes when I hit the backspace i get a little dot (like 'o') for each time i press the backspace but it seems to have no effect on the text processed by programs.
Hoping that these two issues can be resolved.
