Hi Ted ! Hopefully, somebody is gathering those patches. I intend to merge them all at one point, though I can't promise it will happen before 2.6.12. It would be good to "ping" me regulary though ;) I've sort-of been waiting for ATI to tell me how to retreive the proper memory register setting from the BIOS, since the code in there currently is quite powerbook specific, and might not write the exact correct value on all models. I suppose it works fine on yours so far, but I'd rather have a way to know the right value ... unfortunately, they didn't reply on this request.
