I've found some radeonfb bugs causing all sort of colormap screwup using
the Xserver on fbdev mode (or MacOnLinux). I'm currently working on
fixing these, except a working version in my rsync tree real soon now
(possibly this evening).
Next step for me is to get X working with accel & UseFBDev at least.
Full functionality (without UseFBDev, DRI, etc...) will have to wait
for 4.2.0, but i'll see if I can get at least a 4.1.0 working with
accel & usefbdev.
Ben.
