the system can resume successfully from S3 by adding "/usr/sbin/vbetool post" to the resume_video() function in /etc/pm/functions-ati. This issue exists in RHEL5.1,the system->syspend button does not work,but S3 would resume successfully with command "pm-suspend --quirk-vbe-post". So, for amd/ati graphics, we have to use the external "vbetool post" to reinitialize the graphics card in redhat later release, such as RHEL5.2.

Prarit, Jeff, Could the RHEL suspend script be updated so that it RHEL5 works on the Trevally boards? Bhavana
closed. it is fixed in RHEL5.3 and later.
