No, for all three lines: I specifically mentioned fillrect, copyarea and
imageblit.
Shouldn't you fill in references to cfb_*() routines instead of NULL pointers?
Possible. I'm not sure which one I tried. I

BootX is the only way to boot these G3's, unless your name is Michel
Lanners. (If I'm not mistaken.) Anyway, I don't know if it runs under
emulation mode; probably not, because it never was a 68k app. It _does_

Fire up a text editor. Load drivers/video/tdfxb.c. Locate first occurrence
of the string tdfxfb_ops (should be the struct declaration). Find the
lines below containing stuff like .fb_fillrect = something;, change to
read .fb_fillrect = NULL;,

compare the 2.4 and 2.6 versions of tdfxfb.c. Try to set fb_fillrect,
fb_copyarea and fb_imageblit (in tdfxfb_ops) to NULL to use generic,
