I've recently installed Linux on a laptop and I'm having issues with suspension, and it's a feature I really need. And the problem is not the usual that I can see in a lot of forums: It is not that I can suspend but can't awake from suspension. Is just that my system refuses to suspend at all.
Executing pm-suspend on a terminal starts a visible process and the screen goes black for a moment, but then it turns on again and shows me the desktop.
I've tried lots of things,
- Kernels 3.5, 3.4, 3.2 and 2.6.
- Proprietary driver from repositories and from AMD's website.
- Linux Mint 14
- Without installing fgrlx I can suspend, but I have poor graphics —wrong screen resolution, at least.
- With fgrlx the system refuses to suspend.
- No fix installing this → https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fg ... ld/3585042 (which I've found at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.p ... 88444.html )
- LMDE
- The same behavior.
- I've also tried this with no luck → http://www.johnjrussell.com/2007/10/ubu ... round.html
The system I'm using now is LMDE with MATE 1.4.0 —let me show you some command outputs that could help you help me (:

I can't see anything weird... But, as I've said, I think that it is something related to the graphics card, since with Linux Mint 14 and without fgrlx it works well —but it seems to not be an option since that way I have very poor graphics, I can't even read decently :S
Thanks a lot for reading, and for your help in advance —which I certainly need.
