A slightly different version is in my bk (2.4.21-pre3), and will
be in my rsync once I release a new snapshot (will be 2.4.20-ben2),
probably early next week.
However, this workaround isn't very satisfying. If you use DRI at
all, the machine will crash, and since the chip isn't suspended
at all, you'll eat more battery power. There may be other problems
as the chip engine can be screwed up badly this, but well, it's
the best we have for now for M7's.
Ben.
