Bug#705811: Acknowledgement (Hibernation fails with ATI Radeon 9100 with KMS enabled and non-free firmware missing)
What's really strange: there is totally nothing worth mentioning in the log files. dmesg.old contains just bootup messages, there is nothing related to the issue in the syslog, and pm-suspend log file looks pretty normal: all hooks ran successfully, and the last line says "Performing hibernate...". I've compared these logs with and without firmware installed (i. e. after successful and unsuccessful hibernation) and found no differences, except the radeon module obviously didn't complain about missing firmware in the former case. Looks like everything works just fine until the very last moment.
By the way, video playback is broken too. No player can output using XVideo. Needless to say, that disabling KMS solves this too.
