No. You're thinking of the DRI ReInit patches which I started with an ugly kludge and Michel Dänzer subsequently turned into a very good solution for swapping out agpgart and the radeon DRM without restarting X. As a side-advantage, it also allows suspending/resuming, at least if no DRI-clients are running. The patch I'm talking about above is much simpler however. It performs a hardware-only re-initialisation at VT entry so that suspend/resume works even with running DRI-clients and Xv applications.
