Suspending and Hibernating

[thundaraptor]

My system is terrible at either of these. It rarely makes it back out. How do I better understand what is happening and attempt to make necessary changes?

Thanks,

How did you install Ubuntu?

If you used Wubi on a Windows system, it says in the documentation not to try to suspend/hibernate the system while in Ubuntu cause it won't work.

[krazyd]

can you give some details of your system? especially graphics card / driver.

Sure, I have a custom built box with a AMD 2.6 ghz core, 4gb ram and a ATI Radeo HD 4670 dual head video card. There is also an onboard (to the motherboard) ATI HD 3100 card but to date I don't know how to get the cards to work together (crossfire is complicated). I had enough trouble getting the secondary card to work in big desktop mode. In fact, the system was sleeping/hibernating ok before I got the big desktop mode to work properly so there maybe something there. My ubuntu is Jaunty Jackelop 64 bit.

This is the issue.

If you wanna enable hybrid crossfire, you need to switch a jumper on the motherboard...that's all I know.

I am not sure what you are saying. Download a new video driver? I don't really want to do that, configuring my xorg to get big desktop to work was a lot of work. I don't want to start over at ground zero, anyways I think I have the most recent version of the driver installed anyways. How do I know for sure what version of cayalyst I have? This is something I wonder about, when I open the proprietary catalyst control center I can't tell what version of catalyst I am using, nice ATI.
