Hi,

I own A IBM Thinkpad X31, AFAIK the video controller is the same (ATI RV100 LY
[Mobility Radeon 7000]). Since KMS, I have to disable it in order to be able to
use hibernation (you really want that on a laptop).

- radeon.modeset=0

Everything works, except the text console is garbled. Each character is filled
with vertical lines, and seems to occupy a rectanlge a little bit bigger than
usual.

- radeon.modeset=0 load radeonfb while Xorg is running and active

The text console is OK, because it switches to FrameBuffer, hiding the corrupt
text console. Hibernate works also.

- radeon.modeset=1 thus radeonfb is loaded before Xorg starts

When I try to hibernate either using pm-hibernate or s2disk with any quirk
option I get a black screen and nothing else happens.

I have some driver writing experience, so if somebody can a least give me some
pointers to look at, that would be great.
