The problem has continued; since its initial appearance I
have been unable to suspend.

This may apply to him, but I still cannot suspend even after rebooting,
so there's no chance that it's a conflict with the running kernel.

I'm not using the fglrx driver, by the way; I'm using whatever
default configuration xorg loaded--this worked fine out of the box
and I didn't see any need to change it. I did try reinstalling
the video drivers anyway, but still without any luck. I guess I
might try to start using the fglrx driver, though I'm a little
worried about messing up X.

Thanks for any thoughts....By the way, I got a personal e-mail
pointing me to a discussion of this on a Ubuntu forum, where a
poster suggested unloading the cpufreq utility (and then reloading
it on resume), but this also didn't work.
