Yepp,
(please excuse my bad english)

on my powerbook g3/233 with ati rage-lt I'm unable to run your server
accellerated..

dmesg:

I use a standard/dumb XF86Config copied from examples. So I don't force
any parameter in this file. I have also tried to force -mach64 in xinit
but this param don't work in this server.

Using the hacked Xpmac-990203-glibc1.99 with linuxppc work fine
(accellerated) on my mac under linuxppc r4

Any suggestion to get accellerated?

best regards,
igor
