Sorry for being late.  I just tried the patch against vanilla 2.6.9 on
a PowerBook 5,3 (17", G4 1.33GHz, Radeon 9600 M10) and it worked very
well.  Only problem I noticed is that the sound volume is very low
after wakeup, but this can be worked around by unloading and reloading
the snd-powermac module.  I'll put the machine through a few more
sleep/wake cycles over the next few days and report how it works out.

Thanks a bunch, Ben.  Once again you've really made my day.  I do hope
to meet you in person some time, so I can give you a big hug or buy
you a drink, whichever you prefer.

Regards, Jens.
