Thanks for reporting this. I must admit I don't try every single fglrx
release anymore. Funny though, over at the xbmc-xvba guys, the first
thing they urge you to do is turn OFF "Tear-free desktop" :-) It's a mess...

real-time. But then again I'm using cutting edge Mesa drivers which may
be better than stock ones.

Long run is what counts - care to report again in a month or so when
there's been plenty of suspend/resume cycles without a reboot?
