DRI doesn't work out of the box, you need http://www.penguinppc.org/~daenzer/XFree86-4.2/ and the DRM from a current benh kernel. Beware that AGP will likely be unstable, just don't use it in that case. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
