Yes, it might not be a candidate for kernel.org, but for the local kernel tree to allow XF4 on the PowerBooks. However, Anis driver works so far. But if you do a cold boot on the iBook as example some KDE windows are screwed up, like the "could not open mixer" after a login. If you boot in MacOs once and reboot into Linux it works again, looks like an setup problem. I have that on all ati based machines here, iBook, a beige G3 and the Wallstreet. I boot with miboot most of the time. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented... ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
