Well, I built the linuxppc kernel and the benH kernel (2.4.19-rc3) from scratch and both put the system into sleep mode and, more importantly, wake up properly after I open the lid. Even in KDE3 where it wasn't working before (it always worked on the console before). I'm not sure what the problem there was, but using either a newer kernel or a ppc-specific (more or less) kernel did the trick.
As an aside, the linuxppc kernel seems quite nice as far as powerbooks or mac systems may go... building it is a snap and very fast (considering all of the intel-specific hardware you don't have to worry about making modules for). I have no benchmarks on whether they are faster than the stock Mandrake kernels or not. On a side note, if you're using XFS you'll have to apply the XFS patches yourself, but support for ext3 and reiserfs is in the linuxppc kernel already (I don't remember if they're in the benH kernel or not). Just as an FYI for anyone who is in the same sleep-deprived (<grin>) situation that I was in. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" {GnuPG: 1024D/FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
