My machine does freeze after resuming from S3. Is this caused by other devices 
(like the sound card, uses ALSA driver snd-cmipci)? If I _just_ have the 
Radeon problem, the machine should work fine except for the monitor being 
dead, right? In other words, I should be able to SSH in (which I can't)? I 
was under the impression that both the video not coming back and the freeze 
were caused by the Radeon, because before I bought the Radeon I was using the 
on-board graphics controller (Intel 82865G) and there were no problems.
