That sounds like progress :-)

Try this patch (reverse the previous one first)

- update code against the latest CVS version of Xorg
- added VESA blanking support
- added backlight support for powermacs
- added hardware cursor support using option 'hwcur'.
- clean-up of i2c code

Let me know, again, of the results.  Thanks.

Tony
