suspend, agpgart and nvidia drivers

Hi,

I'm trying to get suspend working with the latest nvidia display drivers on my 
FC5 box. The latest nvidia release, 8756, is supposed to work with suspend. 
(and before anyone asks, the OSS driver nv does work, but with my 1900x1200 
screen and geforce fx go 5650) the X performance is pathetic compared to 
nvidia's own driver...)

So far I have only been able to do so if I completely disable agp, using the 
nvidia xorg.conf option

Option "NvAgp" "0"

however,  and only for S4 suspend (disk), where as I really would prefer S3 
(mem).

After reading

http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8756/README/appendix-q.html
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8756/README/appendix-f.html

I am trying to disable agpgart and in favour of trying nvidia own nvagp, since 
there is a suggestion this might work better. However, when I try this (with 
Option "NvAgp" "1" ) I get

NVRM: not using NVAGP, an AGPGART backend is loaded!

The readme's do say the agpgart needs to be a kernel module - Is this the case 
with FC5 kernel 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 ? 

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting suspend working with the nvidia 
drivers ? I really really would like to get this work....

Chris
