I have an old laptop that I'm preparing to give to someone and it has an ATI Radeon Mobility x300. I was using Trisquel 6.0.1 on that machine and it worked well. It would suspend/resume and hibernate/wake just fine. Also the video mode was at an acceptable 1280x1024. I upgraded this to Trisquel 7.0 and now the graphics have fallen back to using a "VGA Compatible" mode and it is causing suspend to not work and the highest video mode is 1024x768.

Any ideas as to why this is happening in Trisquel 7.0 and not Trisquel 6.0.1?

That worked like a charm, thank you for that link. I should have searched harder for an existing thread but I am really cut short on time. Thanks lembas!
