What I'm using right now is the small program found here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg21138.html
... which at least means that I can safely run a GL application after
resuming *without* completely restarting X. I just compiled it and
added it to my acpi suspend script. Uglier under the hood than your
workaround, probably, but quicker in terms of what I have to do to get the
machine in a usable state after suspend.
