It's due to lack of informations about the M7 sleep support, yes, though ATI told us they would eventually try to schedule release of something when they manage to find some engineer spare time (which could actually be close to never...) At that point, I'm wondering if it would make any sense to try to "count ourselves" to have a rough idea of the number of PowerBook users wanting to run Linux on them and the number of the various ATI chips represented (especially M6 and M7s). I have no idea how many we are and if that number makes any "commercial" sense to either ATI or Apple, but I'm curious ;) I keep getting mails from people asking for sleep support on the M7, so... Another possibility would be to spend time disassembling the MacOS driver (I did that a lot on the M6 driver) but that takes time, is difficult, and I don't have the HW as I only have an M6 based tipb (older generation).
