[fr-list] New ati drivers

[Tommi Kyntola]

Ok,
I finally got around to switching back to stock kernels
form my fc6 laptop (hp nw8000) and the latest ati drivers
started to wake from suspend again.

Those that have fedora kernels the 8.30 that mathias
has there seemed to work the best.

The 8.32.5 suspends just fine when running 2.6.19.2.

If someone has the time/interest it might be worth
checking out wether the Dave Jones kernels fix it also:
http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC6/1.2888.fc6/i686/

I'm guessing they do, but I just don't have the time
to try them out...

cheers,
Tommi "Kynde" Kyntola
