I'm currently running 2.6.10, without any patches. The configuration I
have is for the new radeon driver. I built my kernel using the
make-kpkg utility from the kernel-package package, so I can make the
actual kernel available for download (and the package will include
the .config, of course). I also have madwifi packages to go along with
that.
Here is the critical section from that .config file:

Yes, those ones. Unfortunately they suck, for laptops, since the fglrx
drivers do not support suspend / resume :-(
For X I just use the XFree86 ones (ati) and put up with unaccelerated
video, since suspend resume is _much_ more important to me.

Hopefully this has answered them.
