That's to be expected - s2ram doesn't recognise your card already so you
need to set a configuration file to tell it which options to use when
not calling it by hand.

What would be most useful and would allow automatic support of your
machine in the future would be if you could report back about suspending
from the console as mentioned here:
http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram#My_machine_is_not_in_the_whitelist.2C_what_can_i_do.3F
(basically is there an option that allows you to suspend from the
console and X with the screen returning?)

It might also be helpful to attach the output of /sbin/lspci along with
what it took to suspend using the open source radeon X driver (but these
last things are optional).

You should read that page.

Also read http://en.opensuse.org/Pm-utils and after that please consult
/var/log/pm-suspend.log to find out why it does not suspend.
