I'm afraid it's not ATI-related. I have Latitude CPi with NeoMagic2160 -
suspend works ok, but at resume screen goes on for a second and then off.

Machine is live after resume too, blind reboot works ok.

Another note: after resume I tried to work with the machine using ssh
consoles - after some time (not so long - about minute or so) it completely
hangs repeating some strange ACPI error. Sorry, can't repeat it for now
and no traces left in dmesg/messages..
