I've been thinking of picking up a cheap iMac G4 just to play around with... but only if I can run Leopard 10.5 on it. I know that machines less than 867 MHz cannot get Leopard installed without a hack, but Leopard runs perfectly fine on my Cube G4 450 (with GeForce 6200).
However, I have read some reports that the iMac G4s with older GeForce 2 or GeForce 4 GPUs (supported or unsupported in Leopard) had a strange
white screen issue after waking from sleep, requiring a reboot.

Has this been fixed? If so, does that fix work also with 700 and 800 MHz iMac G4s?
