the attached patch adds DDC2/I2C support to the tdfx driver which has the distinct advantage to work anywhere since it doesn't depend on the vbe module. It will try DDC2 first and if that fails fall back to the old vbe stuff when possible. Moved mode validation and related stuff /after/ monitor detection.
That looks reasonable.
Does the vbe/int10 portion still need to be disabled for PowerPC?
I don't see why they should be enabled - they're PC-specific and even with x86 emulation they would be pretty much useless since you're not too likely to encounter a graphics board with PC firmware in a Mac ( or other PowerPC boxes )
That's _no_ reason to disallow them. After all even your Mac has PCI slots, not Mac-PCI slots, because the later don't exist.
