I got some progess, when using the Intel GMA, the suspend works fine.
The problem are only when using the radeon driver.
I am trying to use KMS for radeon but it fails to load the firmware and
the system boots without KMS. I will disable KMS and revert the
xf86-video-ati driver to the latest released version (I am now using the
git version).
