True, some of the PBs do have nvidia card (like mine), but the latest
models >= 15" for example do have an ATI 9700 card that is supported by
BenH's latest sleep patch.
Now for the more interesting part: I have been working on this issue for
some time now, and Rudolf Cornelissen found out how to coldstart nvidia
cards and has it working on x86 for his openbeos nv driver (for using a
second card that was not booted by the system's bios). Now I'm trying to
do the same on my PB, but, well.. it's a long and painful process ;)
My first goal is to get the VGA output working, the flatpanel stuff is
even more complicated. I do have a bunch of code here, but it doesn't work
at all right now. Still working on it...
