It sure is, it's a lot more responsive and ALSA is working great too. I didn't notice any differences in functionality only the 'improved feel'. > > I remembered reading some time ago that Ben's fixes hadn't arrived > > in the 2.6 tree yet...? > > I'm running his 2.6 tree and not having any real problems. No, me neither as it seems... only I don't seem to have a console framebuffer. Well, at boot I see nothing and when switching to console after X is started (also when snoozing), it looks really psychedelic with masses of lines jumping around in all kinds of colors. It's nice, I'd rather have a console though :) I made the assumption that the rsyncing linuxppc2.5-benh tree had a good default config for my TiBook IV. Maybe it was and I messed it up, but I have enabled in the Graphics Support section: CONFIG_FB Support for frame buffer devices CONFIG_FB_OF Open Firmware frame buffer device support CONFIG_FB_RADEON ATI Radeon display support (New driver) and that's it (Frame Buffer console support doesn't need to be enabled?). I didn't want to bother you with the entire config, but I can send it, if needed... I'm still fiddling with the options right now.
