For what it's worth, Xorg 7.0 runs fine with my T41p, using Gentoo GNU/Linux 
and Kernel 2.6.14 with swsusp2. Do you use radeonfb for your console? I had 
hardlocks with the open source Xorg drivers, no matter if I was using DRM or 
not, as long as radeonfb was compiled into the kernel. Disabling framebuffer 
support fixed things: everything runs solid now, including swsusp2. 

I did not try enabling DRM or compiling vesafb-tng into the kernel yet.

The proprietary ATI drivers are a no-go for me, too: they even corrupt Xorg 
when switching to my virtual terminals and back without using a framebuffered 
console - not starting to talk about their difficulties while suspending to 
RAM or disk. ;-)

Kind regards,
Jens
