Greetings, not the original poster, but this answered a nagging question 
so I thought I'd give it a try...

Cool!  Got that kernel and r128 loaded fine when X started on my G4 cube 
(but wish I had known to modprobe gmac for the network to work, that 
took a little while to figure out :-).

Unfortunately, when a GL window opened, the display hung and I had to 
remotely kill the process that tried to open it. :-(

Could there be a device with the wrong permissions?  I notice 
/dev/dri/card0 is root.root 666, the same for my working Voodoo3 Intel 
boxes...

Thanks for any help you can provide,
