i think the fglrx module is not loaded.
I have the T43p too, and got this:
 ~ $ glxgears 
10496 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2099.200 FPS
10799 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2159.800 FPS
10937 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2187.400 FPS

whith CPU @ 800 MHz

Without the fglrx module i never had problems suspending.

if i use it, after resume the X screen is pure garbage.
