It is possible, but since the mach64 driver in 3.9.x doesn't have acceleration yet it won't offer anything more than the fbdev driver. Once acceleration is there i am sure that one of us will do it :). Note also that the mga/glint drivers support fbdev as well. Anyone willing to add support for the mac only cards platinum/control etc ? Kostas
