Just for the record the 8.31.5-1 packages break S3 suspend on my laptop
(HP nw8000, ati mobile radeon 9600), something that works quite
flawlessly with your 8.30.3-1 rpms.

This has nothing to do with the aiglx/compiz, just thought I'd mention
this here incase someone else is about to try those newer packages.
