Re: 3D acceleration for Radeon 9600 Pro chip on PowerBook G4

["Herminio Hernandez, Jr." <herminio.hernandezjr@gmail.com>]

Here is what I did:

1. grab the mesa source

2. install 3 patches two from here and one from here (i used the --dry-run option before I applied the patch to be sure there were no errors)

3. installed the dependencies and compiled. I followed the instructions on creating deb packages found on the Debian forums here.

That's super cool. Can you run, say, xbmc on your ibook?

Regardless, can you please post the steps here so that others can
reproduce your steps?


Thanks,
