The last time, I checked (first major 8.* revision, afterwards I
abandoned them and switched to the open source Xorg driver), I could
successfully use ATI's driver with enabled 3D acceleration and APM (!)
suspend-to-ram.


(At that time, I used to unload the USB drivers in my APM suspend
script, otherwise, the system would not resume but hang, which may or
may not be necessary anymore for current kernels.)

Did you have a look into the bugzilla
http://ati.cchtml.com/
and/or the Rage3D forums?
http://www.rage3d.com/board/forumdisplay.php?f=88

There are often patches there for the ATI driver to built against newer
kernels.
