 That's what I suspected. If this is the case, then the Terra Soft folks 
might want to change this page a bit:

 as it could be seen as a bit misleading (if sleep isn't supported that 
is).

 I've been trying to get my 12" PB to boot with the lid closed, so that I 
can put it in my KVM and have it replace my G4/400 desktop. I'm getting 
close, and I can do it as long as I don't need XFree86. :-( I managed to 
get it to boot so that the console appears on the external monitor, but 
when X starts, it changes to the internal only. So, I'll keep an eye out 
for progress on this on the Linuxppc-dev list and try again later. It sure 
will be sweet when I can make this machine my desktop and laptop.

Cheers,

Chris
