Hi Derek,

It brings my video driver back to life after an S3 sleep so that I don't
have a black screen that won't wake up.  I needed it for circa-2.6.9
kernels but perhaps newer ones don't need it.

Speaking of sleep/hibernate, have you tried the FC3-compatible swsusp2-
patched kernels from M. Hensler:

Some of the recent ones (2.6.10-1.770_FC3 and 2.6.11-1.20_FC3) have
worked very nicely on my laptop.
