I had to turn off a bunch of stuff to get it to run (i.e. to avoid the black screen of death on boot) and I'm not sure the PPP async driver works yet, had to compile it as a module. The controlfb driver now senses the 4m video memory properly on the 7500. XFree4.01 runs (though the keyboard is messed up. I have to investigate the new input layer) The stock XFree86 (XFree86-3.3.6-11.2) also works in 24/32 bits now!!! HOORAY!! Hopefully the changes will eventually make it to the stock trees.
