That patch actually works here and I'm more/less waiting for it to be merged so I can send you the driver updates based on it. (It's becoming rather urgent. My pending PowerMac updates that port things to the new model are causing PM to break on PowerBook laptops now because fbdev has incorrect PM and the "old style" thing isn't properly ordered). The only thing you may probably want to fix (because you know that code better than I do) are: - the "resume" callback in fbcon where I currently just refresh the foreground console, while you may actually want to refresh the one on this fb since I suppose that with mutiple heads, we may have consoles on more than one head ? - the suspend callback where you probably want to disable the cursor timer Ben.
