Hi Bob, try this link,
http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~unatk/media/radeonstuff.tar.bz2
here I got it working with 2.6.11-rc2,
just read the info file, change the Power File to add your model and 
apply the patches in the given order.
If you want you can also apply swsusp2-2.1.5.15 for 2.6.11-rc2

Good Luck
Peter
