[SOLVED!] nasty vertical lines on screen after suspend or hibernation

it's all in the title.. the lines appear while suspending already (thin green or blue lines) and linger on the screen after it's resumed, becoming thick white lines that cover everything).

- i'm using pm-utils
- i use kms with an old radeon mobility card, which doesn't seem to be properly configured (see my other thread viewtopic.php?id=113016).
- the /var/log/pm-suspend.log doesn't provide any useful information. everything looks fine.
- the system didn't resume from hibernation until i set the resume hook. now it does.
- suspending/hibernating from the command line or with the lxde menu produces the same result.

Re: [SOLVED!] nasty vertical lines on screen after suspend or hibernation

using Uswsusp and hibernate-script didn't solved the problem.
i aint gonna try with Tuxonice.

i'm trying with vbetool: shall i uninstall something? pm-utils, hibernate-script, acpi, acpid??? it's such a mess

i suspect the problem lies with the video card. later i'll try to disable the kms and let you know.

Re: [SOLVED!] nasty vertical lines on screen after suspend or hibernation

none of these trials solved the problem.
i uninstalled everything except pm-utils and acpi+acpid, as it where before. btw, do i need acpid?

now with the vga drivers...

EDIT:
- removing kms: didn't work
- vbetool seems useless
- trying the new framebuffer Uvesafb i get a black screen (i'll have to use a boot cd to resolve this)

any suggestion at all??
