Sometimes when it is left alone the KDE power management sends it to suspend. I do not know if KDE adds some magic here (==different run conditions :-) As usual this device platform was brand new at the time being. I expect a superb support with the upcoming 12.04. Best Regards Werner Hi chidori,

Mine hibernate properly but suspend problemiticly. I'm very curious why the same model has diffirent behaviors. But I prefer to suspend works fine. Thanks anyway, Werner. Oops.

The machine wakes up perfectly. But hibernate "Suspend to disk" does not work. I will try it next with Kubuntu 12.04 :-) Best Regards Werner Hi chidori,

When I suspend, the following reboot will not succeed, the boot loader(I use grub) is unable to be loaded, then the box will ask me to provide him a bootable media after a while. Many guys experience the same issue like me. I know them in archlinux forums, I've tried archlinux 3.x kerne land ubuntu 11.10, the same result. So, could you please tell me how about yours? Although you written it works fine here, i really hope some information to solve the problem. Thanks very much. hello, werner

Sadly even with this documentation I did not get ati-driver-installer-11-12-x86.x86_64 working. The driver works basically but no 3D. fglrxinfo thows the error below. Disabeling fast TLS or purging the old installation did not help. I have checked the C-60 has a Radeon HD 6290 not a HD 6320. Do you use a different driver?

The fluent 720p (x264) in VLC is only using around 50 % of both cores with HW acc (Preferences - Input / Codecs), while using 100 % w/o HW acc and not quite as fluent, so UDV definitely kicks in :-) Oh, yeah, I almost forgot.

I could hardly test the beast because of all the things running in the background (glad I am not a common user who _need_ to use Win7 with that). Anyways, the HDD and RAM also went out after testing (1x2 GB and 320 HDD replaced with 2x4 GB and 120 GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD) and installation of Xubuntu 11.10 went smooth. I sadly do not have answers for the sleep and hibernation issues, but I do have a solution for the graphics adapter, more specifically the amdcccle issue. I followed the following link (found via searching as always), and now I get decent OpenGL performance as well as fluent 720p video (in VLC, that is, as Adobe Flash 11.1 is still only 95 % fluent) together with the built-in power savings of amdcccle: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide#Installing_Catalyst_Manually_.28from_AMD.2FATI.27s_site.29 http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide#Hardware_Video_Decode_Acceleration_.28EXPERIMENTAL.29 I tried jupiter, as you recommended, but I am having a hard time figuring out if it works. /proc/cpuinfo says it does (at least from 800-1000 MHz, that is w/o turbo of the C-60), but it cannot see the cpu governors (and I cannot manually either, as /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0 does not exist and cannot be created - I only have the super-folder 'cpu') BTW. I also updated my BIOS to the newest (0503) after testing, of course, so no fuss there. But I am a bit confused about yours 0504 - a typo I guess?
