I would just like to add my twopenneth to this by restating that I am
successfully using the automatically-installed (big popup balloon
pushing me towards restricted drivers straight after the main
installation) along with the automatically installed Compiz Fusion.

The main point of my original summary email, which seems to have been
missed by some, was the lack of warning to users about a known problem.
Any "normal" person with an ATI card (I presume) will get the same
bubble that I did about available restricted drivers, and will more than
likely install whatever is recommended to them. Nowhere in that process
is the user warned that if they do this, that their machine will lock up
if they attempt to use suspend/hibernate. If people are warned at the
time of installation, then they have a choice as to whether they wish to
proceed or not.

This has now been mitigated to some extent by an entry in the release
notes, although I doubt many people read that page. I still think that
any entry should be put in the main information page's caveat list
(where I note there is an entry about suspend problems with an Intel
graphics chipset).
