Hi !

I am currently experimenting with the nv driver on the ppc platform. My hardware 
target is an Apple imac G4 with a Geforce4 mx card.

All linux ppc distros report this setup as unsupported with XFree 4.2.x, but XFree86 
cvs code seems to support this card on x86. So I build a fresh cvs on the imac, with 
no success (color strips..) The card is recognized as a Geforce 4 440 Go by the way, 
is this card supported on x86 ?

Now here goes my real question : I noticed that Ani Joshi worked on a patch last year 
to make the nv driver compatible with big endian machine. This patch has been merged 
in the CVS tree, but this was before the work on geforce4 support. Is the geforce4 
code compatible with Big Endian (and ppc) boxes ? I really would like this card to 
work and I can spend some time working on the issue : If endianness could be the 
problem, which Nvidia/endianness/video driver documentation would you recommend me to 
read ?

Regards
