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.
