Power-drain during suspend?

Dear all

I'm running FreeBSD 6.0 Release on an IBM Thinkpad R51, with a Ati 9000 
GPU and have problems with a very high power comsumption during suspend?
All other issues have been solved and everything is working and stable 
(speedstep, lid-suspend, buttons, wifi, network/mouse after suspend 
etc.) -  I have aprox. 2.5 hours when I run on battery - but if I send 
the R51 into suspend (S3) the battery is completely drained after 6-7 hours?
I have been trying to add 'Radeontool' to my suspend/resume scripts - 
but this does not solve the problem.


Would anybody be able to advice me on this subject ?
