2.6.12-rc3, G5 sound not quite there , some info
OK, I got 2.6.12-rc3 to try to get the sound working but no joy.
Anyway, some info...
I have a powermac G5, dual 1.8 (first tower) and I compliled
2.6.12-rc3
without SMU i.e # CONFIG_PMAC_SMU is not set. I'm also using 32 bit
ppc and not ppc64. I'm running gentoo.
modprobe snd-powermac gives in /var/log/messages:

I'm not sure what else to write but I'm glad to provide more info.
Also as a side note the readeonfb doesn't seem to work that good. I
get flickering. It works fine for with a 2.6.9 kernel. Any hints
welcome (btw I have
xorg 6.8.2).
