fglrx does not support suspend/hybernate.

What can I say, I don't have fglrx, to me suspend is better than a 3d desktop. As of today you can't have both I'm afraid.

There is nothing I or you or anybody else can do. These are closed source drivers. Only ATI can fix them. They know the problem very well, if you go to their bug tracking system you can see the bug, and also how long its been sitting there.....
