Hey, I actually had the same problem as the original poster. I have the Dell Inspiron 6000 as well. I had the ati 8.40.4 driver and I recently upgraded my kernel from linux-2.6.21-suspend2-r7 to various versions of linux-2.6.23-tuxonice sources just to try to get it to suspend to ram properly. Suspend to ram would suspend, but would fail to resume within Gnome.
There seems to be a problem with the ati 8.40.4 drivers with the newest linux-2.6.23 and .24 tuxonice-sources, because I have tried almost every single combination to try to get suspend to ram working correctly. What I did to solve this was to emerge the newest ati-drivers, which as of today is 8.455.2-r1. I also installed radeontool and vbetool. I made the changes in my common.conf and also in my ram.conf in /etc/hibernate to enable vbetool and radeontool. If you need these files, I'll gladly post them up. With the linux-2.6.21-suspend2-r7 kernel, I did not have to use any of those tools to help me resume but with the linux-2.6.23-tuxonice-sources I did. I'm currently running linux-2.6.23-tuxonice-r10.
