laptop 'resume' fails with AMD fglrx module in SL 7

Hi

For SL 7 I built the proprietary AMD graphics driver fglrx (from
'amd-catalyst-14-4-rev2-linux-x86-x86-64-may6.zip') for an HP Pavilion
g6 laptop.  The build was successful, and 'suspend' works (the disk
spins down), but resume does not - the power on button is lit, with
only a blank video.  In SL 6.5 everything works.  I wonder if I need
to look into in the power management in SL7 to make the resume work -
thanks in advance for any suggestions, in PM or elsewhere.

In both SL6.5 and SL7, I used the livecd-iso-to-disk tool to make
bootable usb from livedvd iso images
(SL-65-x86_64-2014-02-06-LiveDVD.iso and
SL-70-x86_64-2014-08-21-LiveDVDgnome.iso respectively).

Thank you,
Boryue Mao
