Some comments about the X section:
* when you say 'acceleration', you really mean '3D acceleration'. 2D
is always accelerated by the ati/radeon driver
* my name is Michel
* it's 'XFree86', not 'xfree'. The name has a meaning so I think
it's important to spell it correctly
* LinuxPPC was a bad distro which no longer exists. We are running
Linux/PPC
* I have taken down the binaries at
http://penguinppc.org/~daenzer/XFree86-4.2/ because I can't
maintain them. The dri-trunk debs are much better anyway. I always
keep at least two versions of the packages available, and old
versions are kept in /var/cache/apt/archives, so broken upgrades
shouldn't be a problem
* please remove the part about ModulePath. As I have pointed out
twice already, it's not necessary and even potentially harmful
* RADEON_NO_TCL no longer exists, nor would it ever have made a
difference
