video=radeonfb being Inspiron 600m suspend

[Thomas J. Baker]

I'm attempting to get some version of suspend working on a Dell 600m
laptop. I've read that I first should be using the radeonfb device but
specifying "video=radeonfb" on the kernel command line doesn't seem to
take affect. I've rebuilt the initrd using --preload-module=radeonfb but
that doesn't seem to help. Modprobing radeonfb after boot does seem to
work though. I know I could just modprobe it in rc.modules and if that's
the only way, I'll do it but it seems like it should work similiar to
how vga=792 makes the vesafb work.

Any ideas on the radeonfb? Any hope of getting some type of suspend
working on an Inspiron 600m without custom kernels?

Thanks,

tjb
