What that patch does is basically to _not_ suspend the video chip, which is not really a good solution. It may or may not work and may or may not screw up the chip's engine since I suspect the PMU actually remove the clock from the M7 during sleep (and possibly clock & power from the video RAM). Also, that means you'll eat a significant amount of power during sleep. Note that I don't know what dreamind smoked, but I do not have a working fix for that ;) I may be able to hack something if I get a chance to play on an M7 based machine for a few days, but so far that have not been the case. Note that ATI is still supposed to provide the necessary information (at least they told us they would do so) soon. Ben.
