Suspend/resume

I've never gotten suspend/resume working on my Gentoo properly..If I have no X running, then it works just fine, but well, the whole point is to be able to suspend when X is running. From what I know, the problem is with the agpgart module, but in my AMD64 installation it can't even be built as a module and on the other computer once agpgart is loaded, it can't be removed..Sucks.
