Briefly, relevant parts of my hardware: - ATI Radeon 7000 - Intel AGP chipset - Linux kernel 2.6.9, ACPI 20041105 I want to be able to use framebuffer (vesafb, for bootsplash). DRI is certainly not required. It appears I have two options: the s3_late_bios patch or dummydriver/resume-finish-split. What do I need to do to try each one? For example, I know I need to pass acpi_sleep=s3_late_bios to my kernel to use that patch. It's unclear to me what I need to do with the dummydriver or resume-finish-split patches. Can someone tell me what I need to do? I don't really need step-by-step instructions, just need to know what to do.
