hey acrux, good job, mate!

rushing to download it now. also, don't be sorry about xorg - at least with 2.6.31.x we will have officially KMS & TTM needed for the radeons, so my forecast is that things will improve dramatically on the xorg/mesa front within the lifespan of this crux revision - remember, mesa 7.7 is coming out for chirstmas! : )

hi Martin,

as you'll see after your first ports update we already are on the bleeding edge and 100% ready for gallium3d radeon and nouveau therefore for the next 2.6.33 linux kernel too.


But aujourd'hui i'm unable to have DRM enabled on my own iBook G4.

well, i've just now tried with a fresh new and well tuned linux-2.6.33-rc1.
I've got a full working framebuffer console (it uses the new radeon_fb driver included into DRM one) and Xorg starts with DRI enabled. Xorg seems to be stable in 2D but freezes with glxgears.
