XFree86 CVS from sometime after 4.0.1c + PPC patches from Ani Joshi's rsync tree. > If I understand well, I could get: > X Strike-force deb packages > + kernel patches from DRI/PPC The kernel stuff (DRM) is only needed for 3D, and it's in Ben's kernels now. > + CVS ati128 driver from DRI/PPC > and it should (would...) work, or not ? Yes, it should. Be sure to use Option "DisableFP". If you forget that, you get either garbage or a black screen, but you can abort the server with ctrl-alt-backspace. > I'm a bit confused with all these different places I can get X from.

No SSH? SourceForge uses an SSH tunnel for CVS. Anyway, I'll probably put up new test binaries in the not too distant future and will announce them here. > PS: When done, I ask John Carmack for Quake3 on PPC/Linux ;P :) Might be better to ask Loki directly though ;) Michel -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper) \ CS student and free software enthusiast Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc,i386) user \ member of XFree86 and the DRI project
