Also have ATI proprietary installed. I can suspend and hibernate, but in both cases the system "appears" to freeze when resuming/restoring. Resume is really bad graphically, but given enough time will return to a clean unlock screen.Mr. Stone Himselfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09194905686786153780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-85927510792785043342008-07-06T05:14:00.000-05:002008-07-06T05:14:00.000-05:00Thanks to AaronMT.

Otherwise, fatal DMA errors occur and wireless shuts off randomly.AlvinTheNerdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14107700984303314989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-79975510716622218102008-06-09T22:49:00.000-05:002008-06-09T22:49:00.000-05:00Does anyone knows how to setup a bridged network for using it with a virtual machine in virtualbox?Mongojungohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04555742538292115369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-31327866023540127442008-06-07T19:46:00.000-05:002008-06-07T19:46:00.000-05:00Suspend works now with the most recent BIOS (2.6.3) and kernel (2.6.24-18).

I did a distro upgrade from Gutsy. It was mostly a smooth upgrade but it clobbered my Compiz and ATI proprietary drivers.<BR/><BR/>Now I finally have everything working again in Hardy...
