Yes, I'm talking about the Macbook Pro rev3, they have an 8600M GT
chip. I've seen intel and ati to work, nvidia however does not.

I got s2ram working in X. The console is dead after wakeup and 2D
acceleration seems to be gone in X. Never tried s2disk. My biggest
problem is the backlight, the LED is much to bright and sucks on the
battery of course..


stan:
The 'fan-situation' is just fine. You'll have to use a little hack
to get the current nvidia driver to work, it'll be fixed in the next
version:

The binary driver also seems to enable the throttling, or maybe it's
throttled all the time, I don't know. Don't have any complex games for
Linux.
