That's sort of incorrect, I've used radeonfb since late 2.5.X builds and I
don't remember it causing any problems resuming (of course, I need
acpi_sleep=s3_bios, but that's another thing). Radeonfb will resume just
fine, provided the underlying hardware is in a sane state. Granted, it may
cause freezes, but it's definitely not so that removing it will magically
cause your video to work or that it does always hang the machine.
