Yep, same here.  I downgraded from Daniel Stones' XFree86 4.3 packages last
night to the official packages + Michel Daenzer's drm-trunk stuff, mainly so
that DRI works again.

TiBook IV, Radeon M9.  Commenting out Load "dri" and the Section "DRI" from
XF86Config-4 sleeps and wakes up, with DRI enabled the screen doesn't come
back on.  I do not know if it has woken up, though.

I still notice the behaviour that I can only sleep when in X once, the
second wakeup never succeeds.  I can reproduce this without fail.  It
doesn't happen in console mode -- unless I have gone into X and exited, in
which case it won't wake up if it has slept once already.
