Hi need people who own those machiens, especially the recent iBook2 models with a G3 CPU and titanium powerbooks with a G4, to test this patch and tell me if sleep mode still works reliably or becomes unstable.
(It won't help machines that cannot already sleep). Applies on top of current 2.6 but may apply to 2.4 as well.. Thanks !
