Sorry to dredge up an older thread like this...
I haven't been able to find that snapshot, but will keep an eye out for
when it shows up. Thanks for all the great work so far, though, Ben!
You've made a number of us iBook owners very happy :)

Could I please trouble one of you with the iBook M7 sleep/suspend
kernel hack working for your .config file? I'd like a starting point
to figure this out, as I'm a little lost right now. I bought one of
the new Radeon iBooks, and I'd love to get all of those features I've
read about working. It sounds like a few of you have pretty much all
of it going now... (perhaps even that blinky suspend light?)
Thanks in advance,
