This bug is probably not going to be resolved, given the lack of interest in solving the problem, and the oldness of the video card. If you use crunchbang linux, there is actually a simple workaround which I found to be working. I disabled the kernel modeset altogether (so it reverts back to user-mode modesetting. which was the old way of doing things). This is done by modifying the kernel command-line parameter (GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX ) in /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="radeon.modeset=0"

After that you execute `sudo /usr/sbin/update-grub' and reboot. Try it and let us know. On my laptop (which is actually a inspiron 600m with D600 motherboard), suspend to RAM and resume worked fine. I would be curious to see if this would work also for ubuntu. I believe it should, but I was never aware of it before.
