Hi Chris:
fglrx drivers added support for suspend-to-ram for their two latest 
driver 8.19.10 and 8.20.8. I've been using the latest 8.20.8 on T43 with 
kernel 2.6.12 patched for SATA driver. Also I think you can get DMA for 
DVD with some patch, too, with 2.6.12

I've been using suspend to ram for about 5 days with around 10 
suspend-resume cycle on fglrx and still have 3D acceleration. So it may 
be worth trying for you. Also I would recommend building the package 
for your distro from the downloaded ATI installer, instead of directly 
install them, in order for the symbolic links to work out. See also the 
links above.
