Yes, according to everymac.com, PowerBook5,9, 5,8 and 5,7 all have 128 MiB VRAM as standard, and 5,6, 5,5 and 5,4 were available with 64 MiB as standard and with 128 MiB as BTO option.

Actually, those DO provide a beautiful display.
Honestly, at 1.67 GHz (higher than G4 PowerMacs unless you include those with 3rd party accelerators) and with higher display resolutions, it a nice system.
Again, in comparison to these, outside of latter gpus, its actually a hard sell for the T2080 laptop as a system for MorphOS (as the speed increase is really minimal and MorphOS doesn't support SMP).
If I had one break, I'd source another (at least if it was a registered system).
