Hi all,
I've a TiBook 15' 1GHz SuperDrive.

For me it is the same story.
   - I'm able to awake from sleep only when DRI is off. No matter if I 
have "DRIReinit"                 option on or off
   - I don't have any problems in console mode, everything seem to work 
fine.
   - I don't have the sleep-inX-only-once, when dri is off I can go to 
sleep and awake safely           more than once.

Moreover, has one of you tried to watch DVDs with this ati-kernel-patch 
on? I don't know if I made some mistake but on the streaming is 
extremely slow. It's not fluid at all. I use xine and with the old 
kernel I used to have (ben5) the streaming was excellent. There's really 
a big difference.

Below you find /proc/cpuinfo and lspci:

Do you see that "Unknown device 4c66 "? What does it mean?
