Historically the only thing requiring vbetool was pm-utils, but that's not been true in a nice long time:
* Fri Oct 08 2010 Adam Jackson ajax@redhat.com 1.3.1-2 - Drop the vbetool dependency, suspend is only supported on KMS drivers.
That was F14 gold:
% koji -q latest-pkg dist-f14 pm-utils pm-utils-1.3.1-2.fc14 dist-f14 ajax
In lieu of flowers, please send patches for KMS drivers to dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org.
