It should work with Michel Danzer packages but it will be an analog output, not as good as a fully digital. XFree doesn't drive properly a DVI output on a laptop yet, though I got it to work with a small userland hack I use to "fix" the chip after X configured it ;) Note that you may also have a problem with XFree not setting the proper divider for your internal panel when used without UseFBDev. Same issue, I have a userland "fix" for that since fixing it in XFree itself isn't quite simple at this point. Ben. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
