Description DaggyStyle 2009-02-19 12:35:02 UTC 
I have a ati card with the following installed packages: xorg 7.4, ati-drivers-8.573-r1 and kernels gentoo-sources and tuxonice-source, after I've upgraded to gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r2 and tuxonice-2.6.28-r3 xdm won't boot up, it crashes into console, the strange thing is that trying to reboot xdm in tuxonice crashes into console, but rebooting with gentoo-sources works.
I have tried to see if the radeonhd works on tuxonice and I get a static display
I have tried ati-drivers-8.573 but for no avail, again before the upgrade I had no problems.


Reproducible: Always

Did you reinstall ati-drivers for both kernels? Meaning /usr/src/linux symlink 
pointing to one kernel, then reinstall ati-drivers, then pointing to other 
kernel, reinstall.

yes of course more than once, I've been suggested to reinstall xdm and all related packages, did it but haven't had time to restart will restart and report again

rebooted, no change

looks like a tuxonice issue more than a driver issue, xf86-video-ati works?

for some reason it seemed to subside in gentoo-sources. will test on tux tomorrow and report.
