That's too broad a statement, it works fine on other PowerPC machines (PowerMacs, some embedded boards). It looks like there's a problem with accessing the PCIe device memory, and at this point it's not even 100% clear that this is due to a problem in the driver, as opposed to e.g. in the platform code. -- Earthling Michel D?nzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
