P.S. I would like to iron out the long standing issue on my laptop
I saw about for along time. I can shutdown but reboot. At least TFT goes 

                                                ^
There should be a "not" here, right?

black, leds go off and than nothing. Have you any infos about special 
register state for MOBILITY before reboot?

No. My OmniBook 500 does the same thing BTW. I can shutdown but reboot 
just hangs the laptop. I'm guessing the BIOS doesn't like the state in 
which atyfb leaves the card. The reason I'm thinking it's the BIOS is 
that my OB6000, which has nearly the same hardware, reboots just fine.
I also tried all of the reboot= kernel options but none helped.

Maybe we just need to restore some of the original state before reboot. 
But I don't know if that's even possible. Do drivers get any kind of 
notification about reboot?

I used to have the same problem (shutdown works, reboot hangs with black
screen) on my Vaio Z600 (Z505 in US/JP), but recent 2.6 (I use a Debian kernel)
seems to have this fixed.

Was that with atyfb? My OB500 reboots fine without atyfb.

Yes, with atyfb. On 2.4 with atyfb, reboot hangs. On recent 2.6 with atyfb,
reboot works fine.
