    2.6 is getting better! I only have two outstanding issues on my setup.
    I've CC:d the appropriate maintainers:

    1. Software suspend

    This began actually working in -test9. However, if I S4 from within X,
    it will never resume. In fact, it will begin resuming, but then it will
    go 'Waiting for DMAs to calm down' or something, and then reboot, and
    loop rebooting.

    Also, my USB devices will not be re-enabled unless I unplug the hub and
    replug it back in. Is there a way to kick my hotplug manager in the
    shins on resume, or simulate a unplug/replug?

    2. Radeon framebuffer

    At boot time, since like kernel 2.5.59, there is a pile of random junk
    on my framebuffer which scrolls away after a while with the boot
    messages. It usually elicits weird questions from my Windows- and Red
    Hat-using colleagues. "Whoa, pretty colors!" or "what the hell?" :)

    Also only recently I am seeing some text clearing problems especially
    when using mutt. Some characters will be stuck on the screen after
    paging up and down, and sometimes when I hit the backspace i get a little
    dot (like 'o') for each time i press the backspace but it seems to have
    no effect on the text processed by programs.

    Hoping that these two issues can be resolved.
