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.
