I am sorry I haven't a good solution. In the moment I use acpi (boot option: 
acpi_sleep=s3_bios) with the XFree/Xorg radeon driver (and radeonfb for my 
console). This is working perfrectly, but without 3D acceleration. If I need 
3D acceleration I  boot with the option video=radeonfb:off . You don't need a 
reboot if you do not use the radeonfb.Then I restart my X-Server with the 
fglrx. Play a game .... After this I close the X-Server and restart with the 
radeon driver. (Sometimes you need to reboot) Now everything is working.
Okay, it's not a good solution, but I don't need 3D acceleration very often. 
I have no hope that ATI has the ability to write a reasonable driver in the 
future :-( This is really embarassing, they should release their sources and 
it will be fixed in two days.
