I installed the new kernel $ uname -a Linux goedel.home.rtfm.gr 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 #1 Sat Oct 14 16:59:26 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux but I have the same symptoms with the new kernel
After further testing, when suspending with the proprietary ATI driver kernel module, on resume the keyboard responds (Caps lock works - Alt-SysRq- Reboot occurs) However no video output occurs
Unfortunately, there's rarely anything we can do with proprietary drivers. You may be able to coax it back to life with some magical incantation of vbetool, but it's completely black magic. Good to know the keyboard is back though. I'll close this out, as there's nothing further we can do.
Without the proprietary drivers I don't even get this far..... No keyboard no screen
