Yes, it is posible. However my Ultra5 only has 4MB video ram(this MUST be
wrong) detected by XFree86. Also I don't know how or why but XFree86
insinsts on not EVER changing the video resolution, thought it is posible
to change the number of colors and use VirtualDesktop space. So if I made
sure to tell the openprom to boot in a low resolution mode I could get DRI
to work, thought I think 1024x768 is small enuff and I still need like 16k
more memory to turn on DRI with 8bpp.
This post is to make the dri-devel archive more complete.
