I just want to say that I have tremendous respect for anyone who's even trying this kind of thing. I bought my Powerbook around March of 1999, with the full intention of running Linux on it as much as humanly possible. If it's significantly easier to implement 3D hardware support in MOL, than it is to implement it natively in GLX, then I'll support that. Hopefully it will provide a monitor or even reverse engineering environment for us to eventually have native support. I'm serious, guys. I invested in this machine for the long haul, knowing only that at least basic bare functional hardware support existed for it in LinuxPPC. I intended to help you guys out as much as I can, in any way possible. I just started reading my "humanistic programming in Applesoft BASIC" book, and I'm learning all about how to format text I/O :> so hopefully I'll soon be able to help implement LinuxPPC hardware support. I provide intrinsic support for anyone who wants to make this thing kick as much ass as it does in MacOS, and I'm sure we can work out some kind of extrinsic support as well, such as cash, cookies, pizza, or a fellow tester. You name it, and I'm there. ===== "Don't expect your own messiah; this neverworld which you desire is only in your mind." -- http://www.dreamtheater.net/songb4.htm#IV5 ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
