enabling suspend-to-ram for a headless powerpc g4 mac mini

Hi folks,

I'm aware that suspend to ram is not enabled for g4 mac minis, due to
lack of support for waking up the video chipset¹.

I use a headless mac mini as a NAS device and so working video is not
important to me.  That prior thread on the topic gives me enough of a
clue to enable support but not to give up attempting to restore the
video.

Can anyone give me some hints/pointers on how to configure or hack the
kernel so that video is simply ignored?

Thank you very much for any help.
