Hi,
On PPC, we can't use AGP GART because of the lack of documentation for
the chipsets Apple uses on its motherboards. But we have PCI GART.
Grab the DRM modules sources here: http://xfree86.org/~alanh/
Compile, insmod r128.o, modify your XF86Config to include the dri,
glcore and glx modules, and use 16bpp by default (the iBook2 doesn't
have enough video ram to do OpenGL at 1024x768@24bpp).
Start X-Windows and you should be set ;)
glxinfo's first lines will tell you if you got DRI to work.
Cheers
PS: If you want to see my XF86Config-4, tell me, I'll post it on my site.
