There is a need to not only put the video device to a lower power mode, but to restore the different states of the video card, so I think no. > Does anyone know whether the lunux people maybe have found a > fix? There is a support available using the radeon frame buffer but for powerpc achitecture. This was written by ATI people. Some people reported this worked for their i386 based laptops after hacking a little the radeon frame buffer, but other reported the oposite. I don't know why it failed for some with the same kind of video chip. It maybe a problem with the northbridge, but I have no real evidence for this claim, only a rough guess. -- Bruno Ducrot -- Which is worse: ignorance or apathy? -- Don't know. Don't care.
