Thanks, but this had no effect on my radeon card.

====== but! =======

Somehow, it's working now! I can suspend to disk! I can suspend to ram!

I am happy!

I do get some very strange screen behaviour during resumes - it goes wrong, 
very wrong, then sorts itself out. The screen looks like it's being burned, 
and it even goes hot, creeping in from the edges (mostly the bottom edge). 
But then after 5s or so it clears, blinks, flashes and finally goes black 
waiting for me to wake it to the "locked screen" dialogue box.

I say "somehow" it works. I basically purged all acpi and apm stuff, 
reinstalled acpi stuff. Why this wasn't working when I first installed I'm 
not sure, but it could be that I'm now using the latest radeon drivers, from 
freedesktop.org, not the one that comes with ubuntu.
