No.  The devices still need to be suspended.  Alas, the NVdriver (the latest
I have tryed was 2808, so I don't know if there is another release) is
broken in the pm management, and I doubt, seeing the source wrapper,
that it will work correctly.

I am currently on a CVS version of xfree86, and the nv driver they provide
now work on the GeForce2 Go, and it give me apropriate 2D acceleration (roughly
as fast as the binary NVdriver).

Well, I must admit that I am not a Quake gamer, so far 3D in not
a issue for me...
