Anybody else having problems with hibernation and suspend using the 4.8 and 4.9 Catalyst drivers? My ABS zForce F2 will not show any display coming out of hibernate or suspend using those drivers. Any ideas besides just using 4.7 drivers?

Gents, I've done a lot of research on BT (unfortunately) mainly because I wanted to develop some BT apps for WinXP. Well, here's the prob: there's no built-in support for the BT profiles (headset, filetransfer, image transfer, etc.,...
