Bug#378964: xserver-xorg-video-ati: locks up machine if X display is active on APM suspend/resume

[Chip Salzenberg <chip@pobox.com>]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati
Version: 1:6.5.8.0-1
Severity: important

Using the ATI driver on a Radeon-Mobility-based laptop, the IBM A30,
I can't suspend while X is active or the machine locks up on resume,
locks up hard -- nothing gets it to respond.

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Subsystem: IBM ThinkPad A30/A30p (2652/2653)
        Flags: bus master, stepping, fast Back2Back, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 11
        Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
        I/O ports at 3000 [size=256]
        Memory at c0100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        [virtual] Expansion ROM at c0120000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>

I've hacked around this bug by putting "chvt 1" and "chvt 7" in appropriate
places in the apmd configuration, but we can't expect all users to know how
to write apmd action scripts.  Thus severity "important".
