The following patch solves the segfault, by changing the mmap flags of the video memory area, to allow execution. The patch is against libx86-0.99 available from http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/libx86/

are you sure you ID-ed the right commit that broke things?
while requiring PROT_EXEC is fine, breaking existing user-space apps over that is not fine. So are you absolutely sure that by reverting that PWT|PCD commit, s2ram again starts to work? That's utmost weird...
perhaps there's some CPU bug that causes NX to _NOT_ work if only PCD is used (not PCD|PWT). Seems like a pretty unlikely scenario though.
