[sprince09 <sprince587@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here's my xorg.conf's (see attached) from the Catalyst version 9.7 vs 9.8.
9.8 Suspens/resumes flawlessly with compositing enabled (yay!), while 9.7
and earlier did not.

 I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty with kernel 2.6.28-15-generic (from uname -r)
with a Gateway M6862 laptop with an ATI Radeon 2600HD card.
