Poor suspend life on Powerbook G4 (5,2)

[Timo Reimerdes <tr@gtnw.de>]

Hi,

I was just discussing Linux as an OS on my mac with a friend who is
running debian on his iBook for ages. He mentioned that when suspended
his iBook lasts about 5 days! Mine will run out of battery power within
two and a half days. I am currently running ubuntu-hoary and a
2.6.9-ppc-sleep7 kernel (2.6.9 with the sleep patch from benh). 

Could a current kernel increase my battery life (under OSX I can suspend
alot longer times!)?

And could someone mail me a link to either a .config usable for my
powerbook? Or even a link to a precompiled image?

That would be a blast.

Other than that I am really happy with the way things work. And maybe
one day even DRI will run ;) :P

greetings
