Works pretty good for me. I did run into the fuzzy screen problem. I use to be able to work around that by switching between X and the console a few times. With the patch that didn't seem to work, but putting it to sleep did fix the problem. Waking up in X had an intial low-res like screen with some broken images, but it did correct itself after a second. cpu : 7455, altivec supported clock : 800MHz revision : 2.1 (pvr 8001 0201) bogomips : 797.82 machine : PowerBook3,4 motherboard : PowerBook3,4 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 73 (PowerBook Titanium III) pmac flags : 0000000b L2 cache : 256K unified memory : 512MB pmac-generation : NewWorld [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lspci 00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]
