Whoa, strange.  My old T42 worked nicely with Ubuntu, and my coworker is
currently running 7.10 on it.  Radeon 7500, suspend works fine.

You're probably missing some packages.  I've no idea what, though.  Try
apt-cache search hal suspend (the hal-info package looks interesting, do
you have it installed?).  You also need some package that implements the
suspend logic, and there are several alternatives here: pm-utils,
hibernate, uswsusp, acpi-support.
