Once there is a way to completely resume the machine from S3 (including
AGP) one
can always test which drivers are causing problems. I'd hate it to waste
lots of time hunting down Yet Another Freeze (YAF) which is caused by a
driver and totally unrelated to the borked AGP card / controller. It
happened to me already, and I had to redo some tests because of it.

As long as you don't enable DRI, running X doesn't seem to cause any
problems.
In fact, only a running X can enable the (useless) backlight.
